   Who really thinks they'll make 60k right out of high school, leave that to   
   'right after college.'  You're obviously vice president of the 'conservative   
   republican grandparents against youth' group.  Most high schoolers have cell   
   phones, too.  Who calls them 'car phones'

   You can get a new job and a new boss a lot easier than you can get a new   
   teacher.

   Flipping burgers should be beneath everyone's dignity.  If you honestly have   
   a passion for flipping burgers, more power to you; go flip those fucking   
   burgers!

   It's usually not their fault, but you're not being too specific there.

   Who talks about how cool they are all the time?  Sounds like someone was   
   abused as a child...

   Most schools still have failing grades, and most schools still make you feel   
   like a loser for just about anything.

   Do you realize that many high schoolers have part-time jobs working 15-25   
   hours per week during school and full-time jobs during summer?  Those people   
   would realize exactly what employers are looking for.

   So anything that makes you laugh on TV is 'liberal' ?

   And if I had a problem with that, I would go work for someone else.
