    Forget a job: grads must sell selves to new world of work By RON McGOWAN, Globe and Mail
    Our ancestors were self-employed people who earned their livings as contractors, trades people, craftspeople and small business owners. When the concept of a job was introduced to them, they thought it was a crazy idea.

    It's the ultimate irony that the job, which our ancestors saw as abhorrent, is something we've become addicted to, and are having great difficulty withdrawing from, now that it is in decline.
