In college, I did well and enjoyed the technical aspects of the business. The creativity of the kitchen, the nurturing of the guest - those were wonderful... but the need to make a profit, the marketing, all the things that seemed to be more grasping than giving, those I couldn't seem to manage well enough beyond a passing grade. Even the soup kitchen required some form of selling, if only for donations.
