A piece of writing that examines the life cycle from college to the work force.
Grinding it out
Go to school for 4 years
Studying for the safe secure job
30% of x in this job make y number of dollars out of college
Cramming all night long for two final exams because if I don’t get the grade I can’t get the degree
Grinding it out
Write the resume
Dress in the nice suit and tie first impressions are everything
The interview confidently talk about how experience a relates to future b how it equals how I can be valuable to company x
Sorry not enough experience
Sorry the slots been filled
Finally a job
Grinding it out
Have to pay back on those student loans
Minimum payment here minimum payment there
How’s work?
Oh it’s good, oh it’s ok
Forgetting what exactly was the definition of an information system?
Pushing the pencil
Working for someone else’s dollar
Grinding it out
Man I’m tired of counting someone else’s money
What did I go to school for?
What did I want to be when I grew up?
