Henry Louis Gates Quotes:
Ocupation: Literary critic
Life: b. September 16, 1950
Birthday: September 16
The truth is I would do my job for free! I love it every day. If you can possibly choose a vocation that's an avocation, a job that's really a hobby, then you'll be way ahead of the game. You should not pick an occupation because your think your parents want you to do it, or because you think it's the noble thing to do. You should only pick a job because it turns you on.
