Lately, I have pondered the question, what would happen if grad school does not end up working out for me, whether it means I won't get a good job with my degree, or if, by some form of divine intervention, I am unable to finish up, what would happen then? What would I pursue after that? Today, while talking to my room mate, I believe that I have discovered the answer: I'll be a bartender. Easily transferable skills, the ability to make a bunch of tasty cocktails, and be able to distinguish what's good and what's bad without much trial and error tasting for myself. Seems good enough to me, and I would make more money than I do at the moment (which, now that I think about it, is pretty pathetic).
I have a feeling that, if I talk to someone like my dad about such an idea, he may say something along the lines of: "Yeah, like that's gonna pay off your student loans. Get back to the manufacturing line, boy!" In that instance, I would probably agree with him. I have piled up a ton of debt just getting through college, let alone graduate school. So, here's hoping.
Anyway, random thought ended. How's the weather?
