I'd be interested to know if there were any milkmen still operating in the U.S.  Maybe rurally? \

Oberweis offers this in the midwest: http://www.oberweis.com/web/homedelivery.asp

However, their owner appears to fancy hunting illegal immigrants from helicopters: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nst-aXvdrR4&feature=PlayList&p=BC1C244BF3D01AF7&playnext=1&index=7

There is a place in denver that does it.

All I know is that if I was the dude's parents and had paid for him to go to fuck*ng Stanford, I would be pissed if he didn't aspire to anything more than "Shipping Clerk." 

BIG assumption that his parents paid for it.  BIG one. 

I went to a private college, and some of the girls were there because Daddy had money (there was a Mustang in the parking lot every day with the license tag "DADS$$$," it made me want to spit), but a lot of us were there because we and/or our parents took out enormous loans, worked our way through, or some combination therof. 

I studied philosophy and religious studies at a pretty decent university and I am a milkman.  Prior to that, I worked in factories, cafeterias and as a postman.  And I never stayed at most of those jobs for very long.  But it's my life, right?  That's just the nature of the beast.  I hope my parents love me nonetheless.

After attending the aforementioned private college, I went 60 grand into debt to get an MA in History so that I could stay home with my 2 kids and occasionally review video games for no pay.  I think I win the "underemployment" competition. 

(Before you ask, it was 2 grand a year for six years for tuition, and the rest for "living expenses" when we were stuck trying to sell a home we could no longer afford.  And yes, paying it back over the next ten years is going to be EXTREMELY painful.)

Philosophy here too! How many of us are there? Far too many.

Philosophy minor here.

If I didn't have to work, I'd definitely go back to school.  The path is an end in itself, IMO.  I came this close to dropping back in last year, but then knocked my wife up and so deferred those dreams for a while.

Children do have a way of destroying one's dreams.

Children do have a way of destroying changing one's dreams.

I just dropped my kind-of-philosophy major because... I realized that I absolutely hate philosophy.

My parents told me at some point, I forget when, that they have always assumed I would find some job that was entirely worthless to society but which I enjoyed. Now I am wondering if I will even find that.

[Choop]

but dan you found that: anthropology.

[KeithHernandez]

I thought I would like philosophy but I hated it too, besides like basic logic and ethics, which I don't know if they are really philosophy, but they were phil11-- classes, so.

[lprkn]

I've found that I enjoy political philosophy and ethics to a certain degree, but I could never see myself as a philosophy major.

Oh, you know, he's probably writing the great American novel in his spare time. Or the great American screenplay, or whatever these kids do nowadays.

He should get Onstad to create a graphic resumefor him in the form of one of those Rube Golbergian flowcharts he draws.

[wombat]

Ooo, I want my resume done that way. Onstad should offer it as a service. I don't need any more tshirts but I'd definitely pay for that.

[AugustWest]

Here's a thought -- how about a strip?  Wouldn't that be a nice change?

Holy Fuck!  Thank you.
