Look at yourself on the day that you graduated college, then look at yourself today. I did that recently, and it was like, "yikes! What the he'll happened?"
The answer of course is life. What the hag chose not to fortell-- and what we, in our certainty, could not have fathomed-- is that stuff comes up. Weird doors open. People fall into things. Maybe the engineering whiz will wind up brewing cider, not because he has to, but because it's challenging. Who knows? Maybe the athlete will bring peace to all nations, or the class moron will go on to be the president of the united states-- though that is more likeley to happen at harvard or yale, schools that I'll pretty much let in anybody.
There were those that left Princeton and soared like arrows into the bosoms of power and finance, but I was not one of them. My path was a winding one, with plenty of obstacles along the way. When school was finised, I went back home, an ivy league graduate with four years' worth of dirty laundry and his whole life ahead of him. "what are you going to do now?" my parents asked.
And I said, "well, I was thinking of washing some of these underpants."
That took six months. Then I moved on to the shirts.
