Job Opportunities in the US
In the US you can find jobs that I've never even heard of in Italy. Like the person at the grocery store who puts the stuff you buy in the bags (we've already talked about that in a previous post). Recently I've discovered two another interesting ones pretty common in ski resorts: first, they have dozen of kids scanning your pass at every lift - we have turnstiles almost everywhere in Italy. Second, and funnier, they have the "lift director", who makes sure no seats of the lift are left unused, picking people to make groups of 4.
They ask: "how many of you?"
- "three"
- "go ahead. Give me one single please!"
- "how many of you?"
- "two"
- "the two of you and the two of you, please go ahead.." and so on, all day long. They are like playing Tetris with skiers and snowboarders! Impressive. It also reminds me of Micky Mouse directing brooms in Fantasia. Do you know any other unique or unusual job opportunity?
