Should Tiger Woods Start Looking for a New Job?

After seeing Tiger struggle to stay anywhere close to the top of the field in a less than star studded event in Philadelphia I began to wonder if Tiger should not start looking for a new job. I came up with four occupations that I think he could succeed in.

1. Accountant

The guy went to Stanford and he does not have to worry about accounting for an additional 750 million dollars of his own money so he will now have the time and ability to look after other people's money.

2. Counselor

I have never been to a counselor despite the fact that I probably need one from time to time but let me say that I have no doubt there are some really good counselors out there already but many of them have probably never been through the hardships that their clients go through. Imagine being able to go to a counselor (Tiger Woods) and no matter what you tell them (e.g., My wife left me, I lost millions of dollars, My golf game is gone, etc.), you know for a fact that when that counselor says he understands you truly know that he understands a little bit about what you are going through.

3. Start a NASCAR Team and Be a Driver

While some people may question Tiger's driving ability on and off the course, I would love to see him start a NASCAR team. He already broke the racial barrier in a rich, white, sophisticated sport. Why not break the racial barrier in a poor, white, unsophisticated sport (remember that I am a huge NASCAR fan)? I would root for this team.

4. Suspend his golfing career and clean up the entire Gulf coast by himself

What better way to clean up your image than to clean up the Gulf coast? Imagine if Tiger spent the next few months picking up tar balls in Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, and Louisiana. I mean what better way to lose the title of most hated person by helping pick up the mess created by the most hated company.

If you read any of my stuff you know that I was a pretty harsh critic of Woods which surprised even myself because I normally find a way to argue against public sentiment but I have never been a big Tiger fan and this just fanned the flames for me. On the surface, I felt like Tiger did everything he could to keep his family together. I actually feel sorry for the guy. He made a mistake and I have made more than my fair share. I hope he gets his golfing career back on track and can be the positive force we know he can be-on the course and in the life's of people touched by his generosity.
