The trap

Unfortunately, all jobs can be traps.  After all, we must all earn a living, put a roof over our head, and feed ourselves and the family.  Then there's all the goodies that can be purchased with that money like the computer I'm using and the music I'm listening to and the ipod it's stored and the television I watch and, most importantly, the trips I take and have taken with my family to exotic locals all over the world.  That would never happen without my job.   I'm getting old, nearing retirement and if I were to pursue a different line of work, my pension would be gone.  I'd get the principle but all that other stuff that's supposed to maintain me in my old age and pay for more trips and more music and T.V. would be gone.  My school division isn't going to promote vertically or laterally 'cause . .  . well, I really don't know.  Trapped.
