Have you ever seen a hippie in a job that you'd thought would be hippie-free? Like let's say financial consultant. I've known a few who tend to push socially responsible investing. I'm in the nursing program in my school. The instructor has strict and old-fashioned ideas/notions about appearance (I agree that everyone should look and be clean... but I resent hair issues). Just a thought.
Not really, but that's one of the reasons why I want to be in the academic world. Eccentric appearance is the norm.
let's see, real estate agent, financial planner, reporter, post carrier, rabbi (2), executive chef for Google (now moved onto his own restaurant), Town council members, mayors....
President.........who else but a hippie would make love (not war) in the oval room ?? Clinton was the first hippie to become a president.....
Which is exactly why I decided to leave nursing school and be a social worker instead. I felt like I was in the hippy closet. I couldn't have my dreads, which I wanted for a long time and had to restrain myself to say things a lot of the time. OB/GYN was my downfall. I couldn't agree with my CI who'd say that there wasn't anything better than birth at the hospital and despised midwives. Personally, I want to give birth at home, so there wasn't any love between us.
own your own business, work for a small business that sells off-beat things, do painting or some crap. and best job of all: busking hahah
I want to give birth at home with a midwife as well. Unless they absolutely believe it would be a complicated birth, I don't want to be in the hospital. My fiance even suggested a water birth. I was surprised that he would be open to something like that.... But then again, that's why I love him.
HAhah I do the boats and go karts at a mini golf place, what a career! I'm free to groh meh hairz! I'm going to school for computer programming, I wonder how accepting that field will be.
I've known a lot of people in respectable jobs who thought they were hippies. Had a manager in a care home where I worked who called cigarettes "smokey joes" and convened team meetings by saying "Let's rock and roll." But he called himself on his own fantasy by going to a Santana concert and leaving half way through because "the guitar solos were too long". I did social work for a while but found it, like care work, a haven of utter conformity. Most eccentric thing I ever saw anyone do was read an uplifting quote from Winnie the Pooh at three o'clock every afternoon to drive people on to closing time. The rest of the time you get every predictable narrow-minded mainstream cultural attitude you would expect. They were great guys, most of them, but counter-culture they weren't!
Well, where I live, a lot of people into social work are hippies and easy-going. The university that offer that program is known as a hippie university. It was founded for the hippies of the 60s. So, I'll be right at home.:sunglasse
