Have you ever fantasized about pursuing a new career? Do you feel that a career change would be impossible given your personal responsibilities? Author Bill Cox has done it numerous times. Wash Behind Your Ears, Billy: The Greatest Story Ever Told About Me by Me is a memoir that chronicles the author's time as a banker, real estate broker, building superintendent, criminal investigator, and journalist, among others. You'll read how a teenager working at a major bank in downtown Montreal finds himself at one of its sub-branches, a twenty-by-twenty plywood building that includes the bank, post office, and sleeping quarters for three, at a mining camp on the Newfoundland and Labrador-Quebec border. Recalling the twenty-two moves with his family, Cox shares the successes and failures, the struggles and joys, that come with making significant career changes and how it can positively, or negatively affect, a family. This memoir includes published and unpublished stories and articles from Cox's time as a journalist and columnist for The Sherbrooke Record and Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph. A blend of journalism and personal anecdotes, Cox shares the lessons he's learned the hard way, so you don't have to. With a strong sense of humour and laugh-out-loud moments, Wash Behind Your Ears, Billy is sure to entertain and even educate along the way.
