On ABC World News Tonight, Elizabeth Vargas did a story this evening on the growing popularity of kids music. In the recording industry, sales of children's music are up 60%. Music sales in the music industry as a whole are down 2%. Talk about bucking a trend.
On a related note, which is why I made sure to catch this story on the news tonight, I am digging a tune off of a kids album these days. It is called See You on The Moon by The Great Lake Swimmers. Download it here. The song covers all of the topics of what you could be when you grow up, with sound effects. Each vocation is followed by the lead singer stating, "Thank You <insert occupation here.>" Buy it here.
The one thing I didn't quite get is why Software Engineer didn't make the song. Or IT Consultant. I think the sound effects for those verses would have been sweet.

Haven't listened to the song yet. Despite how much we would like it to be otherwise, there is no soul or real importance to our work.
Ouch. Harsh judgement on the life of an IT Consultant. I am 99% sure that you know I was kidding about wishing IT consultant was in the vocation song - after all, it would be tough to rhyme. Now, as to whether or not my job is important or has soul...that conversation needs to be had over a nice cold beer.
