My brother Greg talks about reaching a point where he can take a 30-hour a week job as a driver for Seattle’s Metro bus system. He sees this as the ultimate job for a few reasons: 30 hours gets you full benefits, part-time work is better for humans, a bus driver is part of the lifeblood of the city, there is plenty of people interaction, driving a bus could be fun and it’s an important job.

I think he may be on to something.
