Today, someone at work was bragging that their son was high school valedictorian and offered a full college scholarship. 7 years ago, I was also valedictorian and got that same scholarship. All I said was, "Congratulations. Did you want fries with that?" and continued taking their order. FML

It has to be one of those four, huh? Because you know of four situations so mine has to be one of those four? I'm OP. I took the scholarship, got a B.A. in Economics with a minor in Computer Science (not quite Basket-Weaving or Art History, sorry), did analysis for a company that recently went under, started working for a start-up until I ran out of money, then took the best job I could find, which happens to involve selling french fries. By the way, he DID want french fries. And he got them.

If you went to high school in DC, you got to be valedictorian because you're the only one who didn't get pregnant, shot and killed or thrown in jail. So, DID he want fries with that?

Our school Valedictorian is now a stripper. No joke, her stage name is snow white because she was really pale.

Guess that's your fault for not doing anything with your life. Anyone else bored with the "I'm a lazy ass who hates his life and doesn't want to do anything about it but bitch on FML. FML" posts?

You apparently are unaware of just how terrible the economy really is.

Seriously? I can't wait for YOU to lose your job and still have the responsibility of paying bills. Or worse supporting a family. At least this OP is doing something. And did you know that some of the larger national chains offer health benefits to full time employees. How do you know the OP doesn't have a wife and young child. Perhaps he is tiring away so he can make sure to at least provide health care for hisbfamily while he continously hunts for better employment? I know people who will take a shit job for shit pay. As long ast it pays the bills. You're arrogance will teach you a hard lesson one day buddy. Mine gave me avhealthy dose of reality.

A scholarship will get you dick-all if you're getting your degree in Basket Weaving, a.k.a. an arts degree.

You are pissing your life away. And whining about it too. Either pull yourself up and do what you must, and go where you must, or STFU (except to ask "if you want fries with that").

Ultimate win for you for the quick comeback! Even with college education, it's a pain in the ass to actually get into your desired career. It's even worse for new artists and writers these days.
