Funny that you mention butchers specifically. Reminds me of when I was working for Safeway while I was in University. In the break room a few employees and I would talk and the subject of my studies came up and I talked about how I was looking for summer employment in Finance. One of the guys in the Meat department (a middle aged dude) then started talking about how he was working as a financial planner and that meat cutting was just something to tide him over until he made the 'big bucks' working for World Financial Group.
