Personal Reflection on Inspiration
I came to Canada 17 years ago from Poland. My last job in Poland was a lecturer of political science at university. My first job in Canada was a carpenter assistant in a small manufacturing business that reminded me more of a 19-century English sweat shop then modern Canada.Probably nothing pushed me back to university more then going to the tedious job in that factory. Although by no means a positive experience, nevertheless it was a very “inspiring” experience. This experience of mine is actually a good conformation of studies I read a few years ago. Those studies indicated that 90% of workers who work as manual labourers regret that they have not completed any schooling that would give them more meaningful jobs. I tried (and I think I sometimes succeeded) to use this statistical data to convince young people I have met in my life (including my own son) to stay in school.
