For seven years as a young engineer I worked shifts in three increasingly responsible jobs. I could do the

Then one day my assistant, who was about 25 years older than me and had spent his whole working life on shifts, said something like "it doesnt matter how well we are paid we will always be second class citizens when it comes to making social arrangements for a Saturday night". It wasn't long afterwards that I elected to move into personnel work.
