On the continuum from “Devoted Stay at Home Dad” to “totally self indulgent heel,” I would say this example falls a little closer to the latter than the former. The author himself answers that the hardest part of the job is deadlines and to a lessor extent travel. No mention about the family until specifically asked.

I think it would be better to leave all references to the family out of these “My Job” articles. It is pretty obvious that if question 9 were omitted we would know intuitively such a career would be hard on family life. As it is now it just highlights who is really making the sacrifices in order to drive fast cars and travel around the world.

Then again, I don’t know much about the site yet. I ended up glued to the very first story I found from start to finish. This was an exceptional read. I tend to run in gear head blogger circles and I know a LOT of people who recognize Mr. St. Antoine’s name and aspire to such careers. The information shared in this interview is just brilliant.

Thanks for putting forth the effort. You’ve got another subscriber now.
