Mixing in Blue Collar Straight Talk with Tarot Card Mysticism
As more and more white collar workers get bludgeoned like baby seals in the labor market, what is happening is that Ah-Ha moment: Hey, maybe blue collars such as plumbers, welders, and long-distance truck drivers have something good going for them.
No, I've never been a
blue collar. My family had been. Even in those high school part time jobs which
teach us how to conduct ourselves in the work place the tasks were white
collar. Like so many in my boomer generation I was the first to attend college
in my family and career paths were all white collar. On none of them was my
blue collar background a plus. Yes, I had to take on the protective coloring of
someone reared in a family of accountants and college professors and middle
managers. Some inner voice, like a Greek Chorus, warned me: Don’t let “The
Jersey City” show.
Now, as we all know that
respected ethos of being a white collar is coming undone. Some who are losing
jobs, especially if they are over-55, may never again land another white collar
job.
A side effect of this
recognition of the insecurity of white collar work is the longing for straight
talk about how to earn a good living. I grew up in pre-gentrified Jersey City,
New Jersey in a downtown ethnic neighborhood. It was only straight talk – the survival
kind - about getting, holding, and moving on to better work. Somehow I hung
onto to that, despite overeducation, which included Harvard Law School.
And use the straight
talk I do in doing career-oriented Tarot readings. Over and over clients thank
me, relieved that I am zeroing in on the real stuff of the struggle to earn a
good living.
The mysticism of the
Tarot is profound. But its wisdom won't reach most people unless it's
translated into down-to-earth language. That's the gift my blue collar
background has allowed me to bring to my clients.
Reflection: Are those
who have only experienced the white collar whatever at a disadvantage in this
scary economy?
