I like journalism and writing a whole lot and also like working on the computer. I want to sign up for a degree that had career flexibility meaning I could do more than one type of job. For example nursing that is all you can do is anything related to nursing. However I want a degree that I would have a lot of career choices with.
Which of these two degrees has a lot of flexibility in career choices. Liberal Arts Associate Degree or Communications-Journalism Associate Degree?
This is an excerpt from the Nest of Vipers podcast hosted by San Francisco independent filmmaker Danny Plotnick. Like the unholy coupling of This American Life and The Best Damn Sports Show, Nest of Vipers is smart, funny, and irreverent. Each episode features the rantings, ravings and erudite patter of independent musicians, filmmakers, writers and comedians holding court on cultural topics of the utmost importance.
Full Episodes available through iTunes.
Episode 12: Take This Job…
Nine-to-five, punch the clock, bring home the bacon and all that jazz. Let’s face it, work can be such a drag. Finding a job you like can be harder than finding inner peace. Even if you do find a job you love, there’s office politics, inter-office drama or a borderline psychopath lurking in a nearby cubicle. In other words, the working life provides plenty of material for another action-packed Nest of Vipers. This week’s team of fundits share tales of dishwashing, salmon gutting, international banking and working for a major pant concern.
Our guests include:
Anthony Bedard. Degenerate by night, international banker by day. In this episode Anthony Bedard reveals top secret international finance gossip circa 1994. He also admits to his Jakarta Post addiction and his fascination with the Clove cigarette trade. Since leaving the banking game, Bedard has gone on to run Past It Records and the current comedy label Talent Moat. He is the booker for San Francisco’s Hemlock Tavern in addition to playing guitar for the Hank IV.
Pete Jordan was a counter culture hero in the 90s. His wildly popular zine Dishwasher chronicled his quest to wash dishes in all 50 states. Hounded by major publishing houses for years, he finally broke down and revisited and re-chronicled his adventures in the recently published memoir also called Dishwasher. He currently lives in Amsterdam.
Kurt Keppeler has worked at an Alaskan Cannery, as a door-to-door encyclopedia salesman, sang with an Up With People-like singing group and performed dinner theater as a teenager. He currently plays guitar in the band Fierce Antler. This is his third stint on Nest of Vipers.

This is a song by Leon Russleson and I think I learnt it around 1970 from the singing of Roy Bailey who still does great performances even today. I remember singing it at a folk club in Stoke when I was a student there and Martin Carthy was a guest that night, who used to sing some of Leon’s songs himself. It’s amazing how little details came flooding back. It’s a great song that hits arcitypel cords, although it reminds me of the saying ‘if you find a job you love, you never have to work again for the rest of your life’…
A typical day in the life of “Mel’s Diner” restaurant workers, in Venice, FL. A birds eye view from the workers point of view in the restaurant, rather than from the customers point of view.
