Hello Rocky,

The experts have released their forecast for the coming hurricane season.  These clowns are never right.   Are there any other careers out there where you can make a nice living jerking people around?

Rocky Responds:

Sure, Brenda, although the Weather Center crew deserves special recognition for positioning themselves as "People of Science" even though they abuse the scientific method the way these guys abuse spandex. 

Here are three other gigs that are devoid of accountability:

1.  Astrologist - Although maybe I shouldn't pick on astrology right now, since I am a Gemini and Mercury has been retrograde since May 26, meaning that I will be error-prone until the planet goes direct again on June 19th. 

2.  Director, Rehab Center - Put somebody in a dorm room for a month and bill them $30k.  If they relapse when they get out it's their own fault - they didn't join AA, work the 12-step program and attend daily meetings.  We love that business model.  In fact, the HelloRocky Team is going to start a fitness camp.  You will get in shape as long as you tender us a huge check and, when you leave, promise to join a gym and work out for 90 minutes a day. 

3.  Life Coach - Life coaches help clients identify and pursue personal goals.  How?  By asking clients what their personal goals are and then telling them to work towards those goals.

This sample should help get you thinking of other examples.  Let me know what you come up with.
