Store greeter: a job for George W?
Store greeter: a job for George W?
Suzanne Goldenberg in Washington The Guardian,
Saturday 7 February 2009
His father went on to a lucrative job as an adviser to an investment firm. Bill Clinton has earned more than $90m for his speeches. So how will George Bush spend his post-presidential time?
A chain of hardware stores in his home state of Texas has come up with a career plan, offering the former president a job as a greeter at its Dallas branch.
Bush says he intends to focus on his presidential library, and work on his memoirs, although he has yet to find a publisher.
But even with those obligations, a Dallas businessman says Bush would be a natural fit to welcome people to his chain of stores. In a letter in the Dallas Morning News, Kyle Walters says: "We're confident that your experience ... would make you an excellent candidate for the position."
Some might think a greeter's job a less than illustrious career choice for a former president. But Bush's options may be limited. Speaking and publishers' agents have been less than enthusiastic about booking the former president. And at a time when unemployment is at its highest point in 18 years, a job is a job.
