What jobs have you had?

[momoness]

I'm a journalism major, but only once have I worked in the industry. The rest of the jobs which I did include being a social media manager at a non-profit, being an office assistant at a feminist NGO, being a data entry clerk at my university and being a researcher for an academic legal initiative. What's your experience?

I'm paid to own, like, 50 gajillion cadillacs. From the government! I don't have to do any real work at all!
Why, just the other day, I got a 20 000 dollars to plant organic rudebegas in my back yard! I didn't even plant them! I just flushed the seeds down the toilet!

That beats being a secretary for the guy from the Eagles. Hotel California is ok, I guess.

Also I facilitated connectivity and enhanced metrics across all production gradients as a form of integration with the digital marketwebs of the 21st century. Suck on that!

For no reason at all, of course, here's a picture of a chimp in a suit. For no reason.
