Someone told me an analogy that I thought was interesting. He said that in many places where you work, you are nothing more than a lady of the night. You are wanted for your time and your body.
When I heard this I couldn't help but laugh a little. Though I don't agree that it is entirely true. In fact, I don't like to think that others are out to use me.
Yet, he had a good point. People are often paid not for who they are and their special gifts and strengths. People are paid because they are a warm body and are available. They may have also shown a certain amount of competence.
For me, I don't want to sell my body and time like a street walker. I have much more to offer than that. Yet, his point is well taken. His analogy gives me one more reason to seek independent employment.
