Excerpt from Egg Farming in California

I had dreamed Of a sunny home among the trees and flowers with thousands Of interesting, growing, beautiful things all around. Now I was swallowed alive with all the individuality I ever had ironed out Of me.

I walked the streets with an aching heart. What could I do to earn my keep? I tried to get a position as bookkeeper, thinking that would be a genteel life for a college boy. But no, they had no time to teach a schoolboy without experience. I tried to get a place clerking in the stores, but had no references and less experience. I looked at the list Of work Offered by the employment Offices, but nothing but heavy muscular labor was wanted. I came near shipping to the western corn fields in answer to a demand for corn huskers. I had once been a capable hand in the field, but college days had softened my hands as well as determination. I was in desperation. NO one wanted a college boy. I Should be able to do things, not read about other people's thoughts and think I could do things. The futility Of all my labor in college came over me like a flash. I must put my hand to the wheel and learn to do things.
