that-guy productions presents:
The Future: a Panel Discussion
Our guest moderator is the illustrious Elmer Fudd. Joining him will be a Doomsayer, Highlander, a College Student, and a High School Drop-out.
Moderator: We dwew stwaws backstage to see who would have the fiwst wowd and it goes to Highlandew.
Highlander: There can be only one.
Moderator: Well said. How about you High School Dwop-out; what do you have to say on the mattew of the futuwe?
Drop-out: What?
Moderator: Doomsayew?
Doomsayer: You are doomed!
Moderator: College Student, can you say a few wowds?
Student: Um, this counts as my language lab, right?
Moderator: Fiwst topic is how do you see youwself in the futuwe?
Highlander: I will be the only one.
Drop-out: Can anyone understand him?
Student: I think the question was what will I be doing in the future. I hope to put my degree in Art to use by bringing my love of the Pre-Raphaelites to students.
Doomsayer: You are all doomed!
Moderator: How awe you pwepawing?
Drop-out: What?
Highlander: I will chop your head off.
Doomsayer: Doomed, I say!
Student: I've put some long hours in, studying and volunteering for extracurricular activities that advance my area of knowledge. And though I feel put upon taking classes outside my major I've come to see that they've opened me up to possibilities and skills I can use in the future.
Drop-out: I party a lot and hang out on the weekends.
Doomsayer: Doom, da, doom, da, doom.
Moderator: How does youw pwospective jobs in the futuwe measuwe up?
Drop-out: Oh future! Well, I went back and got my GED, which didn't take as long as stupid school. Now, I'm an apprentice to a plumber, and he brings home forty thousand a year. How much you looking at, college boy?
Student: Thirty to start, maybe.
Drop-out: I'm making twenty right now. How much you making?
Student: Um, Five.
Drop-out: You got any debt?
Student: Thirty.
Highlander: That sucks. And your not even immortal.
Student: But it's my passion; it's not like I'll have a job as much as my job will be an extension of my life.
Drop-out: Hey, my job pays for me to have fun and that's what it's for.
Doomsayer: I have come to a realization. If you are just looking for money, why waste your time in college? You can make money without a college degree, lots of money. Why do something you have no desire to do. But if you have a passion to learn something that can coincidence with your job or you want to get a job that will be your passion and you must pass through the hallowed halls, then college is for you and you will have the motivation to dedicate yourself to it. Either way you are both DOOMED!
Moderator: I think that waps it up. Goodnight evewybody.
