1、Whats Your Job, Daddy?Whats Your Job, Daddy? As time goes by, the same question has two different answers: “Whats Your Job, Daddy?”. Not so long ago, the children thought their fathers job was making something or fix something. However, what do their fathers do as working nowadays seems to be not un

2、derstood by children at all. Data processor, public relations and systems analyst seem to be nonsense explanations to a child. What the child could see in his father workplace is reading paper, delivering paper, carrying paper, and other jobs all that he can not imagine.1. Whats the previous / the p

4、t so long ago, when a parent said he was off to work, the child knew very well what was about to happen. His parent was going to make something or fix something. The parent could take his child to his place of business and let him watch while he repaired a car or built a table. Nowadays, a few fathe

5、rs still fix engines and build tables, but most do not. Most fathers sit in glass buildings doing things that cannot be understood by children at all. The answers to the question What kind of work do you do, Daddy? are likely to be utter mysteries to a child. I sell space. I do market research. I am

6、 a data processor. I am in public relations. I am a systems analyst. Such explanations must seem nonsense to a child. How can he possibly imagine anyone analyzing a system or researching a market? In the common everyday job, nothing is made any more. Things are now made by machines. Very little is r

7、epaired. The machines make things in such a fashion that the things will quickly fall apart. Repairs will be too expensive. Thus the buyer is encouraged to throw the thing away and buy a new one. In effect, the machines are making junk. The handful of people remotely associated with these machines c

8、an, of course, tell their children Daddy makes junk. Most of the work force, however, is remote from junk production. What do these people do? Consider the typical twelve-story glass building in the typical American city. Nothing is being made in this building and nothing is being repaired, includin

9、g the building itself. Constructed as a piece of junk, the building will be discarded when it wears out, and another piece of junk will be set in its place. Still, the building is filled with people who think of themselves as working. At any given moment during the day perhaps one-third of them will

10、 be talking into telephones. Most of these conversations will be about paper, for paper is what occupies nearly everyone in this building. Some jobs in the building require men to fill paper with words. There are persons who type neatly on paper and persons who read paper and make notes in the margi

11、ns. Some persons make copies of paper and other persons deliver paper. Some persons mail paper. Some persons telephone other persons and ask that paper be sent to them. Others telephone to make sure about where paper reaches. Some persons talk about paper. In the grandest offices, men approve of som

12、e paper and disapprove of other paper. The elevators are filled throughout the day with young men carrying paper from floor to floor and with vital men carrying paper to be discussed with other vital men. What is a child to make of all this? His father may be soimportant that he lunches with other m

13、en about paper. Supposehe brings his son to work to give the boy some idea of what workis all about. What does the boy see happening? His father calls for paper. He reads paper. Perhaps he scowls atpaper. Perhaps he makes an angry red mark on paper. Hetelephones another man and says they had better

14、lunch overpaper. At lunch they talk about paper. Back at the office,the father orders the paper retyped and reproduced,and then sent to another man for comparison withpaper that was reproduced last year.
