I want to give someone a job. Doing what? That's the thing. I don't know. And actually, I want YOU to give someone a job. His eyebrows rose. You want me to give someone a job doing... you don't know what? What's the point of having somebody who employs half the planet anyway if you can't say, 'Give this girl a job'?
In a conversation from J.D. Robb's "Thankless in Death," a character expresses a desire to help someone by offering them a job, but reveals uncertainty about what the job entails. This highlights a willingness to support others, even without a clear plan. The request takes an unexpected turn when the other person is asked to take the initiative instead, emphasizing the importance of empowerment and collaboration in providing opportunities.
The exchange reflects the complexities of employment and assistance, questioning the effectiveness of offering jobs without defined roles. It raises important considerations about how to contribute meaningfully to someone's career path and the responsibility that comes with the power to hire. The dialogue underlines the sometimes vague nature of job creation and the need for thoughtful action in helping others find their place in the workforce.
