This is my response to the query what was your best ideal job and what was the worst job you’ve ever done?
Great job
Best job
Sticking the tassels on the show girls at the Folies Bergere – it’s ony $5 per hour – but it’s all I could afford. Woody Allan
Seriously I would like to set up a computer training centre in an area of high unemployment, but without the government interference. (I used to teach computing in the equivalent of an American community college and at a refugee language centre).
Rotten Job
Worst job
Worse job in my hippy days was as night porter in a hospital,where I was wheeling the dead bodies out to a Gothic mortuary.
In the last ten years editing a whole set of images showing how to categorise the symptoms of diarrhea. They were videos that were digitised frame by frame. I had to search where one section stopped and the next one started.
This lasted two weeks and then I had to title a set of photographs showing the effects of sexually transmitted diseases. This was for the tropics – showing the effects were someone did not have any access to the medical services.
The result of the project was good as they developed a number of laser discs, now converted to searchable CDs, which are used to train doctors in the developing world and as a useful reference for doctors in the developed world.
