There's something a little off about this survey - it lists *Starbucks* as #17 "dream job".

There are management and professional positions at Starbucks just like at every company. Not everyone is a barista or store-level manager. -- Shawn K. Quinn <skquinn@rushpost.com>

Probably the only job on the list with any sort of real job security, and they might make you store manager. As corporate jobs go, Starbucks is probably a good job to 'fly a desk' at too. A few years ago this guy, a chemical engineer, who worked at a local startup that was attempting to do some "Green Tech" by leasing a piece of a nearby cement plant to experiment with sinking CO2 into the concrete as a way to help the environment, needed to find another job because the 'suits' were having too much fun driving their leased Ferraris to look for funding. He was looking at a job in the SF Bay area as an engineer at a thin-film emulsion company, and a job as chemist for Gallo wine. He had a newborn and a wife and asked me what I thought. I recommended the company that had existed long before he was alive, and most likely will exist long after he's gone... Smart guy. He took my advice. -- RR "Through counter-intelligence it should be possible to pinpoint potential trouble-makers ... And neutralize them, neutralize them, neutralize them"

The portion of concrete which binds it together, called "cement", is calcium hydroxide, or Ca (OH)2. Mixed with gravel and sand and water, this makes a slurry called "concrete". It quickly (hours) cures (hardens), and it begins to absorb CO2. That conversion makes old concrete harder and stronger than newly-poured concrete.Poured concrete continues to absorb CO2 for months, years, and even decades after it is poured. However, to make the initial cement, calcium hydroxide, a chemical called Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) (limestone is nearly all CaCO3) is heated strongly, and it emits CO2, forming calcium oxide, CaO. Adding a bit of water forms calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2. So, the CO2 that curing concrete absorbs is matched by the CO2 that the CaCO3 originally released during the making of the calcium hydroxide. Further, heating that process requires some sort of fuel, which itself usually releases CO2 as well. Jim Bell BS Chemistry, MIT, 1980.
