Some kinds of business not even a J.Pierpont Morgan could make respectable.

Choose an occupation which will develop you; which will elevate you; which will give you a chance for self-improvement and promotion.

You may not make quite so much money, but you will be more of a man, and _manhood is above all riches, overtops all titles_, and _character is greater than any career_.

If possible avoid occupations which compel you to work in a cramped position, or where you must work at night and on Sundays.

Don't try to justify yourself on the ground that somebody must do this kind of work.
