- It’s What We Do
I’m considering a career change. I’m thinking about marketing myself as a rainmaker.
Our kids, who have probably spent a lot of their teenage life raising themselves, are now asserting their independence by either moving out of home or ceasing to pay board, and I see this as a further sign I should embrace this new vocation and travel wherever I’m needed without any of that maternal guilt.
It could be lucrative, incorporate my passion for adventure riding and I’d be paid to ride and visit areas all over the country. Charleville has the Stiger Vortex rainmaker guns, but I could be the real, live thing! From past experience I reckon I’m effective about 80 per cent of the time. So often when I’ve been on a trip it’s either rained while I’ve been there, or rained shortly after I leave, and that includes regions that haven’t seen rain for a long time.
