The Big Pay-Off
Congratulations! You’ve devoted your entire life so far to hopping through scholastic hoops for petty, meaningless rewards. Now all that frantic hopping is about to be rewarded – you’re about the ambark on a career of mediocrity and powerlessness as part of a giant bureaucracy where nothing you do or say will ever really matter, where you will never be your own boss, where you will spend your waking hours striving to earn enough money to buy material goods that will never satisfy you.
-Matt Groening, “School is Hell”
Wow. Way to give me a positive outlook for life after graduation. Or life before graduation, for that matter.
I thought you were going to tell us you’d taken a job somewhere.
Somebody is having a bad day. Maybe you should just start your own business. Oh, that’s right – you did!
