Working It Out by Charlos Gary for November 20, 2024

The joke in engineering is you hand the new engineer a mop and bucket. He responds indignantly, “I have a Masters degree from MIT!” Then you apologize and say, “Oh, I am sorry! Here, let me show you how.”

We did have a new guy fresh from UCLA. He designed the worst air system for a test set-up I ever saw. My boss told me, “Don’t worry. He management material. He won’t be here long.” Sure enough….

Up-grade that to a PHD, and you could work for Starbucks.

Ironically, they’re so desperate for social workers and others in the psychological professions that he’d have no trouble getting a job in his profession. However, the burnout rate is high, so he may have chosen to get out of it.

Colonel Sanders “early years”.

Only people with degrees in 15th century French poetry know how to do that.

“ I got my degree from Providence College, so I’m a Friar. Is that close enough?”

“an’ you don’t grab the chicken out of the fryer with your hands? Wow… who’d a thunk it!”

Dose of reality in a lousy economy. Take that masters, your resume and use it the next time you have to use the bathroom.

With a master’s in psychology he should know how to psyche them out and get the cushy job he really wants…
