READER: I can’t read.
CAREER COUNSELOR: That’s okay with me. I’ll respond orally from now on. You just ignore those words on the screen, all right?
R: Uh, okay. How can I, I mean, what do I have to do to be a holehunter?
CC: A holehunter! That’s one of the more popular career ambitions we encounter. It sure sounds romantic, doesn’t it? You’re your own boss, you have this ship all to yourself, and you can get rich. Is that what attracted you to holehunting?
R: Yeah. I guess so.
CC: We try to stee...r young people away from holehunting as a career. There’s a lot of problems. For instance, what do you think one of those ships costs?
R: A lot, I guess.
CC: Whew! You said it! You’ve got to get money together for the initial investment in your ship. Outfitting it for a trip costs a lot more. And it’s dangerous. What you do, in case you don’t know much about it, is just go flat out in your ship for as long as your engines are good for. Then you sit back and watch the mass detector.
