¿The Burger and The King

(James Marsh, UK). 56 minutes. Rating: nnnn How could one of the world’s brightest stars die fat and miserable? This film answers that question.

From interviews with cooks and friends, we learn that poverty determined Elvis Presley’s eating preferences – fried squirrel, collard greens, chipped beef – and he never grew out of them or out of eating with his hands. He hated restaurants, a fact that reinforced his shut-in status, and used his personal power to make sure he chowed down on whatever he wanted.

The doc is more explicit than necessary about the gross food that killed Elvis – how to make chipped beef, for example, or how to skin a squirrel. Call it extreme violent food porn.

And the tongue-in-cheek recipes for his faves don’t suit the content. This is one of the saddest movies ever.

Choosing a career is one of the most important decisions you’ll ever make, and it’s not an easy one. Pressure is intense when you’re about to invest serious dollars and, given how technologies seem to change on a daily basis, your success depends on a future that is not all that predictable. The whole process can be so overwhelming that you hardly know where to begin. Sometimes, hearing about the experiences of others who have found their callings is a good start. To find the right path, you need to know your 4➼ own strengths and remain open to opportunities that come your way.

Bahareh Toghiani Rizi

Policy analyst, Ontario Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change I support the development of legislation, regulations, policies and programs related to provincial air quality and climate change in Ontario.

I did my bachelor in environmental science at Simon Fraser University with a chemistry concentration, which gave me a great background on environmental issues from a scientific perspective.

I ended up doing a master’s at York University in environmental studies because I was interested in how urban planning and policy could be used to manage energy production and consumption in sustainable developments.

Specifically, the program allowed me to focus on learning about how climate change policy, urban planning and sustainable energy management can be integrated to develop effective approaches to reducing greenhouse gas emissions

At York, I was able to integrate my interests in learning about climate change policy at the local level, urban planning and sustainable energy management.

and mitigating climate change in Canadian municipalities. A broad knowledge of climate change issues has been essential in my work experience so far.

I’ve always had an inherent interest in environmental conservation and in solving environmental problems. There were a number of factors that influenced my decision to apply for the master’s, but my research interest mainly developed from my stakeholder position on BC Hydro’s Electricity Conservation and Efficiency Advisory Group. Specifically, I participated on two sub-working groups – one focused on making changes at the societal level, and the other on netzero communities – that sparked my desire to understand how urban planning and policy could be used for sustainable energy management at the local level.

At the time, I had an idea of what each of these disciplines meant, but I didn’t have a deep understanding. I was eager to understand them and their connections more thoroughly. At York, I was able to integrate my interests in learning about climate change policy at the local level, urban planning and sustainable energy management. My supervisor was focused on energy policy, whereas my adviser had a background in land-use planning.

My first position after graduating was climate and energy planner with ICLEI Canada, a non-profit organization focusing on sustainability issues at the local level. This involved acting as the lead technical contact for the Partners for Climate Protection program, a network of almost 250 Canadian municipalities that have committed to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and acting on climate change.

It’s a pretty competitive job market right now. A lot of students graduating want to work in the field. I don’t think there are a lot of direct opportunities to work on climate change initiatives. But that’s not to say there aren’t indirect employment opportunities in sectors that have an impact on climate change.

One challenge on the job has been understanding how the system works. As with any large bureaucracy, there are a lot of processes and procedures. Becoming familiar with the system and being able to navigate it takes time.

The best part of my job has been putting into practice the knowledge and skills I gained from my academic and work experience.

There are a lot of opportunities for climate change mitigation in the province, and it’s exciting to be able to work on climate change issues.

Your dream in focus.

Tara Dorey

Program coordinator, Mural Routes At the art service Mural Routes, there’s a small office staff so I help with promotion, coordinating our programs and projects and am involved in some teaching when we work with youth or communities. I also do some of the painting.

I started at York University in a bachelor of fine arts program. I also took courses toward the community arts practice certificate, a joint program between the faculties of fine arts and environmental studies. I completed my fine arts degree at OCAD University, where I studied in my third and fourth year.

I switched because I was looking for something hands-on and with stronger emphasis on the studio aspect of a BFA. I also felt that OCAD is connected to the art scene. Your teachers should be practising artists who give you a peek into what the contemporary art world is like.

When I was trying to figure out what to do at the end of high school, I struggled because I wanted to work with people in helping ways, so I applied to therapy programs and looked at health care. In public art, I found a medium that involved art and helping people.

My organization does a lot of its work outside the downtown core in communities like Scarborough. Recently we project-managed a mural by a graffiti artist from Montreal named Omen near Warden subway station.

Six artists, including myself, worked on another mural called Ultra Rare. Two student gallery curators are trying to get McCaul Street to reflect what OCAD’s students and alumni are capable of.

Knowing the materials, knowing how to mix colours and other elements of practical art-making are really important in my job since I do sometimes get on the wall and paint. A good part of doing a BFA is understanding why you do the work you do. Especially in public art, you need to explain yourself and the work for grants and promotion and to the public. You need to be able to explain it on an academic level and sometimes on a really basic level so that the public understands.

I had two thesis advisers: Canadian artist John Scott and David Clarkson. They took an interest in my work, and I discovered that the best teachers always show you other artists to look at and to be inspired by. They wouldn’t say, ‘Oh, look at Monet,’ but would tell you about contemporary artists, usually from Toronto and Canada, who you could look into to put your own art into context. They’d help you find other artists working with similar themes and styles.

I did a few group shows with other students. Getting involved and getting experience doing art shows and the social aspect of that are important. Meeting people is important because they can inspire you, but also because they understand what you’re going through and support you when you feel like you’re going crazy.

John Suriano Maintenance and construction electrician

So you want to

light up the joint

As an electrician, I contract on my own part-time and teach at Humber College the rest of the time. My clients are a mix of industrial and residential. For example, one of my customers is a solar panel manufacturing company. I move equipment from a plant where they’ve purchased materials to their site, help them integrate it and wire it up to their line. For residential work, I help a general contractor move lights, add lights and do other tasks related to electrical renovations on people’s houses.

I started off in the military. I came out after three years and went to Humber’s construction and maintenance electrician program.

In the military, I wanted to be an avionics technician, but that wasn’t available so I asked if I could do something else along those lines. They said they had room for an electrical distribution technician, which worked out well for me.

Before enlisting, I was going to college for electronics and installing kitchens in the summertime, so I had a sense of what the construction world was about. I was interested in mobile electronics and cars in high school.

What deterred me from continuing was seeing a newspaper ad for an electronics technician that said “starting at $10 per hour.” I was making more installing kitchens, so I was discouraged. I also wanted to get out of my house, so I went the military route.

Distribution techs pretty much work as military electricians. I passed the aptitude test, did my training in New Brunswick and got my first posting in Quebec City. I lived there for a few years and did cross-training with the Ministry of Transportation at Jean Lesage International Airport, because we

also had to be experienced in runway lighting. We did street lighting as well.

When my three-year contract was up, I came back, got a job in an automotive plant working on robots, lasers, presses – all sorts of automated stuff.

In 2008 when everything in the United States was going belly up, I started travelling around the U.S. for our company, which was buying equipment for pennies on the dollar. We refurbished equipment, packaged it up and sent it to Mexico.

The interaction with the teachers at Humber was important. If you didn’t quite understand something about instrumentation or code, they were great about answering questions on the spot or getting back to you. They helped build my confidence by showing me that if I didn’t have an answer, there was a way to get it. More than the equipment, the teachers prepared me for my job now.

The changes are pretty fast and furious in this field. For example, in the housing industry you have smart homes coming on to the market and getting a little bit more affordable.

Humber just started offering courses in home automation and networking. On the industrial front, there is a teacher at Humber who has taken the reins and purchased a lot of the newest technology in the industrial field.

I enjoy travelling day-to- day for the job. I’ve been lucky that I haven’t just been that guy who runs pipe and conduit all the time. It’s not the same thing every day – it’s not just a 7-to-3-o’clock shift.

Sometimes I get called in at 3 am and I’ll grunt about it, but looking back I usually have enjoyed it. The best experiences on the job are also the worst.

Sure, it’s not fun getting woken up at 3 am and having to do shift work rotations. I did that for seven or eight years. But I took all the shifts because I was interested in learning.

Registered massage therapist I work six days a week at several clinics right now as a full-time massage therapist and occasionally teach at Centennial College.

When I left high school I went to the University of Toronto for computer science. I worked at a small dotcom as a computer programmer as my second-year summer job and stayed there for quite a long time – about 13 years total. After a while I got a bit disillusioned with the industry. I didn’t have very much job satisfaction. While I was getting a massage, I mentioned I was looking to change careers, and my massage therapist convinced me to take a look at the profession.

In 2007, I enrolled in Centennial College for massage therapy. It’s a pretty intensive program – three years, and a lot of the focus is very clinical and science-based. There are a few focuses to the program.

One is to get you registered as a regulated health professional (they prep you to pass the government exam), and there is the training for the work itself.

Both aspects were quite well covered. I’m very comfortable as far as what I do and was prepared for the exams as well.

What I like about the field is that you’re self- employed, very autonomous. The job satisfaction is second to none. It’s one of the few professions where people come to see you and generally leave happier than when they showed up. It’s always nice to be helping people, and you can tell by their faces what impact you’re having on their lives, whether you see them once for an hour or over a few years. You can’t beat that.

The teaching aspect that I’m doing was unexpected

and new. I had a great time while I was in the program and didn’t want to leave after graduating, so I jumped at teaching.

We did some surprising outreaches while we were in school. We treated very specific groups of people in the community.

My typical hours are 11 am to 9 pm.

The best massage therapists have compassion and empathy – and a lot of patience. People tend to be surprised by how much science is involved in the course, a lot of anatomy, pathology and physiology.

You must know the parts of the body, how it works and breaks down with various diseases. Having analytical and problem-solving skills is helpful as well so you can figure out what might be causing someone’s pain or discomfort. Both right- and left-brain thinking are definitely needed.

American Sign LanguageEnglish interpreter In situations where you have a person who is culturally deaf whose first language is American Sign Language and a person who speaks English and doesn’t speak ASL, my job is to listen to the English and interpret that into grammatically correct and culturally appropriate sign, and vice versa.

I did a degree in communications at Simon Fraser University. I then entered the American Sign Language and deaf studies program at George Brown and did the ASL interpreting program for three years. After that, I did an interpreting apprenticeship at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, New York.

I work in Toronto in a bunch of different settings, including education and business. I enjoy working in the Jewish and the LGBTQ communities when those opportunities come up because I’m gay and Jewish. I grew up in a Jewish environment, I went to Jewish schools – I know the language and culture. It’s easier for me to slip into those contexts and understand the nuances.

I got interested in the area when I travelled to Israel for 10 days with a

bilingual/bicultural group. There were 23 deaf students on my bus. After talking to them, I thought I’d really like to learn their language so I could have conversations without an interpreter.

I realized interpretation wasn’t so far out of my grasp.

I asked friends if there was something I could do to bridge that divide, and they said we need more interpreters. Now that I’m working in the field, I realize there aren’t enough of us to fill the need.

Part of the program is a course on entrepreneurial skills, which prepared me for freelancing. You learn how to invoice, draw up a service contract and ask different questions to determine if you’re a good fit for a job. As a new grad, I rely heavily on my mentors and give them loose information about an assignment and ask if they think a job might be out of my comfort zone.

You won’t have as much success in the program if you don’t step out into the deaf community. When I started, I went to deaf events probably three to four times a month. Learning any language in a classroom isn’t enough.

You need to be using the language on a regular basis with native users.

We also had a lot of exposure to the language through our teachers who are deaf. Many of the classes in upper years are taught in American Sign Language, so you’re using the language not only in practice but in

Learning any language in a classroom isn’t enough.

You need to be using the language on a regular basis with native users.

speaking to your friends. Deaf culture is completely different from non-deaf culture.

To be a good interpreter you have to be open-minded and willing to accept critical feedback, because it does come all the time throughout your learning. I always took feedback as a sign someone thought I could get better and tried to run with that. Communicating seamlessly is the best part of the job. The hardest part comes when the topics evoke really strong emotions. Once when I was interpreting, the subject of bullying came up, and it was difficult not give in to emotion. It’s a challenge to balance the being-human part with the professional part, because it’s my job to maintain neutrality.

Sometimes the emotions that come up are really unexpected, but you learn to shove that part of yourself aside.

Marie Desmarteau Manager, major and annual gifts, MusiCounts

MusiCounts is an organization that supports music education across the country for children and youth, primarily in the form of grants to buy musical instruments.

My role as manager of major and annual gifts is to raise funds for our programs, so I work with corporate partners, private foundations and individuals. We take on a number of fundraising events during the year and also work with other orgs that do fundraisers and initiatives for us, supporting the people running them in whatever way they need.

I did my undergrad in music at Western. My academic major was in music theory, and I’m also a cellist. From there I got a master’s degree in sound recording and audio engineering at McGill. After that I did an MBA at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management.

From a very young age I knew I wanted to have a career in support of music. But I wasn’t suited to being a performing artist and wasn’t drawn to teaching, so I looked at other ways to be involved.

Audio engineering was really interesting to me.

Unfortunately it was a bad time to be working in audio engineering. The music industry started to undergo tremendous change thanks to the availability of digital music and new technologies that allowed musicians to do their own recording.

I really wanted to stick with music, possibly in the not-for-profit sector. I had such a focused education that I didn’t have a broader perspective on how to run a business or work in an administrative role.

That’s when I decided to apply to business schools. It seemed intimidating at first, but speaking with contacts at the various business schools, I realized I had an interesting perspective to share. That got me more excited. I thought Rotman would broaden my understanding of how the world works.

Marketing, sales, finance, negotiations and business strategy – all of those things are used in fundraising. I don’t think I’d be as successful a fundraising officer without having knowledge in all of those fields. The Rotman School is very much about case-based study. You not only learn the tools, but you walk out of there with a lot of experience in working through situations.

The learning curve was steep, so I had less time to devote to other things. At Rotman, they make it easy to immerse yourself in school life. They deliberately set aside time for out-of-classroom events. In my second year, I was an English-as-a-second-language coach for some of my classmates. I was also involved in a couple of committees and part of a not-for-profit student consulting team.

Fundraising is a lot about finding a fit with someone and a way to work with them that will suit their needs and yours. I discovered a passion for finance, economics and strategy.

The most rewarding aspect of my job is knowing that I’m supporting music education. Specifically, that I can take people who want to support music education and connect them directly to those in need of it.

When I was an audio engineer I worked directly with talent, helping them make their music available to fans.

What’s great about my job with MusiCounts is that I am now helping to seed talent and build the audiences of the future.
