The Fastest-Growing Job Category

OMG--and I almost never use that kind of expression--one of the fastest-growing job categories in California is "wealth work," which is described as "catering to the whims, desires and appetites of wealthy people."  I am of two minds on this one--it's a really twisted thing to have this named on California's list of job categories, and, secondly, is the country ahead of California for a change as many people and politicians carter to a certain character in the White House who is known to be quite wealthy?

First things first--when China's booming economy surpasses ours, will most of the world's wealthiest people be Chinese?  So we really might become the slaves of the Chinese?  Over the top in the imagination, I know, and probably not PC.  So let me back away from that one and take another road.  What ever happened to "giving back?" That doesn't seem to square with the notion of "wealth work." You can't claim that "creating" these jobs to cater to your whims and appetites is in any way charitable.  It would almost mean that having a butler or a chambermaid was the "charitable" thing to do.  To me, one of the obligations of wealth is to share, and it also implies some sacrifice on the part of the giver.  Let's try sharing instead of creating a class of "wealth workers."

Or, maybe I'm just becoming a curmudgeon.
