An Interesting Interview, a Perspective of the Elderly
One of the more interesting interviews I conducted when I was managing the firm was a woman who had worked in home health care and then become a janitor at an upscale office building in the heart of the city. One of her jobs was to clean the executive washrooms at one of the most exclusive accountancies in town. That meant she had a key, and she said that she used to take her lunches in that washroom. She’d wear her heels and sit in the stall and listen while she ate. She knew it was clean enough. After all, she’d just cleaned it! So she’d listen to what the women at the accountancy said when they came in to use the washroom. They talked about what people were investing in ,what they were getting out of, and so on. By setting aside ten percent of her income and investing based on what she overheard in that washroom, she earned enough in five years to quit, go to college, and get a degree.
