The article discusses a parent's experience of helping their daughter secure a copy editor position at a local newspaper after she graduated from college. Initially working retail, she was eager to find a fulfilling career. The parent, reflecting on their own recent career change, assisted her with the job opportunity, hoping it would serve as a stepping stone. However, after a decade of doubts, they wonder if this choice limited her potential, especially as jobs in her preferred fields seemed increasingly elusive.
Her time was divided between working retail to have some money coming in and applying for jobs.
I imagined my daughter could work as a copy editor while searching for that dream job - that big shot job in a government agency.
