Whoredom
What would my options be if I dropped out of high school? Could I be one of those girls who bangs the shit out of buckets and straddles drums at Gogol Bordello shows? Could I be una puta in Buenos Aires? I remember we suggested at some point that Krissy work at a kinky sex club in Paris, would this work for me as well? I've heard high end hookers in Vegas make 250 grand a year, how hard could that be?
All of these involve me using my body to make a living, and not in a very wholesome, Christian way. (Somehow I don't think my parents would bring Jesus and his pals into the argument if something like this did happen.) But what else is a female high school dropout going to do, other than selling her soul to the bloated corporations of McEvil and such? Men don't even really have the option of selling themselves, unless they're either gay or extremely beefcakey (often both.) Our society assumes that everybody is going to go to college and support themselves and not only put food on the table, but that the food provided is healthy, fresh, balanced and lovingly prepared. All this astonishment at mass obesity and unemployment seems pretty fucking naive coming from those whose job it is to make sure this stuff doesn't happen. So my point is, do they really think every student in the system is going to kill themselves trying to get an education from teachers who should have been weeded out from that occupation much earlier in their education? Do they really expect the druggies and thugs and wannabe thugs and just plain stupid kids to know what the fuck a logarithm is? Conclusion: whoever made up the system was either three sheets to the wind, a lying fetal sac of a Republican, or a junior high teacher (likely all three). So that's my rant for today. I have to go learn how to speak French now. Good luck on all the finals that you aren't studying for.
