Is a Vocation Still a Thing

Is a vocation still a thing? Or have we all lost our zing, And replaced it with a sting. Is a vocation still a thing? Or are we blind to anything but bling, And now happy to trade drugs in ring. Is a vocation still a thing? Or have we lost the ability to cling, To such a noble thing.

Part of the problem are cheap employers, looking to undercut, reduce salaried folk, use casual.

Yes. I am lucky because I am on pension, 66 now so casual is ok for me now but before I was on casual before and it sucked. I said to my children if you are good at something you will get better money but if you chose to go for something you don't like because of the money you may dip out and just end up mediocre.

Great to hear from you and know you are still about with everything that is happening. I will look up what you wrote. poetry and poets give me some hope and we never know what we might achieve through meaningful conversation. Take care and I will keep an eye on your posts. Best regards David in NZ
