On Principle

Posted on January 31, 2003

How far would you go to stand on principle? Would you sacrifice an hour’s pay? A day’s? A week’s?

Would you actually turn down a job opportunity, if you were unemployed, if the job was counter to your principles? (Be honest now!)

Well, Shelley Powers did just that — and after being unemployed for a while, too. Gutsy move on her part. I wish I could say I was 100% certain I’d do the same thing, were I in her position. I suppose that’s one of those things you can’t know for sure until fate puts you there.
