  7. Ex-Microsoft exec living the boomer fantasy: Meaningful work

    Patty Stonesifer sits cross-legged on the floor of a preschool classroom, her hands dripping with purple watercolor paint as she makes small block prints with the help of a 4-year-old who expounds on the proper technique to dip and print.
