Something to contend with, however, is that not all Catholics- especially Traditional ones, it seems- have the right temperament for sales. So we cannot, of course, view sales as the 'fix' to all of our problems. What do we do when we have a melancholic who has a great mental intellect, but may be introverted and quiet?
Internet blogger evangelist? I hear they make reasonable money. Just kidding.
Seriously however, I guess the answer is that the people with the right temperament get job in corporations, do well, gain influence and then hire their friends from mass. Pure nepotism. My brother is a Chief Technology Officer and rather melancholic tech type and he has hired at least 10 Trads and given them a career start in financial data. The first now works in a hedge fund and does very well indeed. The second was my brother in law who now works at a leading investment bank programming algo trading computers and makes mega bucks at 25. He is forever jetting around between Hong Kong, South Africa, New York. He is about as introverted and intellectual as you could ever find, but an amazingly clever genius as well.
Obviously, however, if those people come and work for an owner who is a Jew and in what is a very multiracial environment because they are translating and supporting financial data in different languages, then they have to learn to keep their opinions to themselves at work. Not only does the big boss not appreciate paying someone who would like him in a gas oven, but my brother is likely going to be embarrassed by recommending them. So the people with very strong views about the way they would like the world to be are sh!t out of luck I guess.
"Fredo, you're my older brother, and I love you, but don't ever side with anyone against the family again, ever."
I employ one Trad myself and three Ukrainian Orthodox and a Greek Orthodox here in San Francisco, who actually goes to the Russian Orthodox because the Greek church in America is too modernist for her. My Trad is a chap who had health problems and could no longer do his manual job. Now he sits at a computer and does detailed research for me, looking up people I need to contact and making little dossiers about them and their contact details, including their direct and mobile numbers, so I can use the dossier when I contact them and be very knowledgable about every aspect of their business.
It is my understanding that around these parts that is NOT a rare skill set.
