 JW> When I was in college I was a part time

 ML> Yes: I'm kind of disapproving that librarianship and tutoring

 ML> Then I thought, what job deserves to be low paid?

Something unskilled and yet fun, so that it's very popular and the
positions are easy to fill despite the pay.

-Usher at a ball game (I think Hap would agree)
-Lifeguard at a bikini beach
-Chocolate truffle dipper

But then "fun" is subjective.

I remember a high school principal, watching a plumber working on a
frozen and ruptured sewer line at the school in a snow storm at 30
below, commenting that the plumber made more than he did per hour and
that he deserved it.

 JW> Fast food employees now make $14 here and the cook at the jail makes
 JW> $22.50. Real chefs make $27 and up. So that fish slicer guy would make
 JW> at least $17.

 ML> A real Itama-e should be pretty well compensated. But does he
 ML> work harder than an apprentice fish slicer guy?

No, just smarter.

      Title: Roast Stuffed Derma (Kishke)
 Categories: Sausage, Jewish, Beef, Russian, Chilies
      Yield: 8 Servings
 
      1 lg Kosher beef casting
    1/2 c  Salt
      2 qt water
      1 lg Onion, minced
      1 c  Schmaltz
  1 1/2 c  Matzo meal
  1 1/2 c  Bread crumbs
      1 ts Paprika
      1 tb Kosher salt
      1 ts Garlic powder
    1/8 ts White pepper
      2 lg Onions, thinly sliced
      3 c  Water
 
  
  TO PREPARE CASTINGS: In large bowl, dissolve 1/2 c salt in 2 qts water.
  Soak casting(s) in heavily salted water for 10 mins. Rinse castings.
  under cold running water, letting water run thru inside of castings.

  In skillet, saute onion in chicken fat until it starts to brown. In
  bowl, mix sauteed onions w/together w/matzo meal, bread crumbs,
  paprika, salt, garlic powder, & pepper. Sew or tie one end of
  casting(s). Fill w/mixture, a little at a time, shaking & squeezing
  gently so you don't tear casting. Do not pack too tightly. Sew or tie
  other end closed. Preheat oven 375F. In roasting pan, place sliced
  onions & stuffed derma. Pour in 3 c water. Bake in preheated oven for
  1 hr. Turn derma & bake for 1 hr longer, until kishkes are nicely
  browned. Slice & serve.
  
  ADVICE FROM MAMA: 1. You can keep extra beef castings in freezer
  indefinitely. 2. Should you have stuffing left over, it will keep
  in freezer for a long time. NOTE: Stuffed derma, otherwise known as
  kishke, is nothing more or less than a particularly delicious Jewish
  sausage. "Kishke," by the way, means "intestines" in Russian &
  Yiddish, as in "Oi! Have I got a pain in kishkes!" Probably from
  eating to much stuffed derma. There's no getting around fact that
  making stuffed derma requires a lot more work than most of recipes in
  this book, but if you love it, it's worth it. Sure, you can buy it
  ready-made in some Jewish delicatessens, but it will never be as good
  as this. Serve stuffed derma hot as a side dish to a meat meal-like
  brisket or roast chicken, or as appetizer by itself.
