Ever meet a fanatic?
He’s got just one thing uppermost in his mind.
If he*s looking for a job he‘s thinking only of
pay or only of security. Reasonable men, how
ever, weigh these and many other factors when
they're evaluating career possibilities. Such
factors as opportunity, challenging work, train
ing, professional associates—things fanatics
never bother to consider.
