First lady Michelle Obama says community service changed her life

By NATASHA T. METZLER , Associated Press

WASHINGTON - For Michelle Obama, corporate law turned out not to be the career she wanted to look back on at the end of her life.

"I had to ask myself whether, if I died tomorrow, would I want this to be my legacy, working in a corporate firm, working for big companies," the first lady told employees of the federal agency tasked with managing public service programs. "And when I asked myself the question, the resounding answer was, absolutely not."

Mrs. Obama spoke Tuesday to about 250 employees of the Corporation for National and Community Service, the latest stop on her listening tour of the federal bureaucracy.

10. I'm glad for her that she had the choice to choose a different route.

Most of us are still shackled slaves in the corporate clog. AND there are not enough social nets to help us choose to leave that sort of life.. like you know, healthcare.
