I get all the leads in the school plays this year and last because I'm hot and can speak clearly, and because the theater professor who directs the plays also wants to fuck me. In reality, I am not that talented and will wind up eventually becoming a Lutheran minister or a lawyer (depending on how smart I am) after ten years of trying to make it in NYC or LA and failing.

I will never fuck so many girls in my life as I will this year, but I don't realize this now.

I’m the special assistant to the president. I basically run the place and reward my favorite faculty and staff with sabbaticals giving them the opportunity to study such weighty matters as the former role of classroom chalk on harmonic dissonance.

I cover for the president and keep disgruntled department chairs at bay. The president is on his 3rd wife. They come and go but I’m still here...20 years later.

Oh, and to keep my skills fresh I coach the field hockey team. Women power!

I’m one of the disparaged state university students mentioned in R140’s post. Unlike the students at the elite liberal college across town, my parents never took me across the country to visit dozens of college campuses so I could choose one where I felt “most comfortable.” Because they both worked jobs that don’t pay Wall Street salaries, they made it clear I would have to help pay for my own education by WORKING part time. For that reason, I chose to go to the state college and live at home to save on living expenses. I graduated magna cum laude, double majoring in Business and Writing.

Fast forward 10 years, and I just got promoted to director at a major corporation (having worked my way up from being a lowly office assistant—I didn’t land a fancy internship in college because they weren’t offered to state school students.) Because I went to the lowly state college, and because I worked my way through school, I paid off my (fairly small) student debt in less than 5 years, so I’m now debt free. I’m enjoying my life, traveling to great places for my job, and fulfilled in my work.

Those “elite liberal arts” students who used to belittle the state school kids are still in debt. According to their Facebook rants, many of them didn’t vote in 2016 because the Democrats didn’t choose Bernie, who PROMISED them he’d eliminate their student debt! Those lucky enough to have parents who paid the entire, huge elite college tuition bill are now working for dad’s company and/or (in the case of many of the women) stay at home moms who think their homemade soap “businesses” will make them as rich and famous as chocolate chip cookies made Mrs. Fields!
