It's official. My diploma arrived in the mail. Isn't it lovely? It sure is a funny little thing. I'm not sure what to do with it. That's what everyone asks, "What are you going to do with your degree?" A silly question...or I just think it is silly because I can't figure it out. Maybe I should use it to get a job. They say that too, "Put your degree to work." Makes no sense. It is in fact nothing more than a fancy piece of paper with my name and the signatures of some important men. Right? I learned a whole lot in school and I guess this fancy paper is supposed to reflect that in some way. I worked pretty hard to earn this sucker and now that I have been out of school and unemployed for two months well it's becoming a lugvely sight. I had such dreams for us. All the things my degree and I were going to do. Save the planet. Genetically engineer palm-size dragons. Start market shaking, nay, SHATTERING businesses.  Maybe its good for nothing, more likely that's my patience. But I guess until something better comes along each other is all we've got. So come on little degree, get out there, earn me some benjamin's.
