Vieing the News Cont'd from P. 7 means experience isn't necessary. Bob applied -- and was so determined to land a job that he did flot reveal his university backbround. On Inco records, he shows as a high school dropout. Bob's reasoning was that he would mun into the nonsense about being "over.qualified". Good health, the intelligence to work with others and some experience in handling heavy construction equipment from summer work'landed Bob a job at Thompson. An Incc training school introduced him to drills, explosives, muckers and the other tools and techniques of modern, mechanized mining. These days, with production bonus and other inoentives, Bob can gross $17,000 to $18,000 a year. He lives in subsidized accommodation paying about 845 a week for both room and board. Bob has already been pronioted to a higher-paying underground spot. Another year of reasonably prudent living and he will have accumulated the money to undertake studies for a law degree. That is, if Inco management doesnt -spot his full talents first and start making him the kind of offers that open even wider opportunities than law school. This young man is a prize for any mining company, a rare instance of practical below-ground experience (four-fifths of a mile below) anîd a much broader background in the humanities than received by technically-trained engineers who run such mines. Combine these ch aracteristics and experience with an eagerness to go where the work is and personal ambition to proý,-re.-s high"r, If 1 were Inco, I'd, make him an offer he couldn't refuse - m aybe pay* the. cost of continuing education if he undertakes to stick with the organizatiori. Fortunately for Canada, there are many ocher <"Bobs".
