Degree offers opportunities for life

I don't have a crystal ball, but I can see myself getting one. The future is something no on will ever know.
The New England Patriots copyrighted "19-0" before the Super Bowl. Obviously their crystal ball was defective. Thanks for playin' NE.
Then there is me, who at one point said,
"I'll never go to Southwestern
College." Now I'm proud to be a Moundbuilder. Funny how things turn out, eh?
Yes I'm here in Winfield and am quite happy earning my degree
in communication and hoping
I get a chance to utilize my prospective degree.
I was unable to find the numbers
on this, but we all know people out there who have gone to college and gotten degrees. And after graduation did something
completely different.
That scenario doesn't make much sense to me. It's a waste of money. Just like people going to college to find their spouse. It's kind of limiting to think that your one true soul mate is on the same campus when there is a whole world of people out there. Don't get me wrong, it's awesome if love is found at college,
but I'm just not that vain.
But don't worry about me. I have back up plans if the world needs no more DJ's or cameramen
by the time May 2009 rolls around.
My good ol' best friend Roy back home is always up for adventure.
We always figured we could search the United States for hidden
treasure because it would be fun. The only real cost is gas money, plus about $19.99 for a nice shovel, and a couple Indiana
Jones Fedora hats. Let's face it, Roy and I ain't the kind to go treasure hunting without Indiana Jones hats. It's just not done.
If we exhaust all of the treasure
maps here in the states, a trip to Europe will be in order. Scouring country sides in search of ladies in peril and lost Nazi gold.
Go ahead, accuse the two of us of watching way too many movies but is it really that far-fetched to think about if this whole mass media bit falls through for me?
