More DescriptionAll jobs provide us with interesting characters and encounters. Our jobs also take us on journeys through times and generations of change and adaptation. Jill of all Trades, Master of Some takes readers on a journey through the eyes of a native Vermont woman who began her working career at age 12! Of course, working at very young ages harkens back to times when children had to work to provide either for their families or for themselves. The characters and situations the author encountered throughout her working life capture this New England experience: days when a generation was raised to work hard, make do without, and minded their manners. Follow the author on a journey through decades of various, and sometimes-hilarious ways of making a living - all to put food on the table, a roof over that table, and love for her family.
