Employment criteria

My 15-year-old son made an astute observation as we were waiting at one of the local espresso stands. All of the baristas were young women, he noted, and cute ones at that. The technical term, or so I was told once, is "coffee hottie." My son wondered why no young men worked that the coffee stands. I said that perhaps none of his peers applied for the jobs because they were seen as jobs for girls.

As he glanced through the window at the girl making our beverage, he piped up, "If they were SMART, they would apply."
