Money for nothing

My future salary

I’ve heard the economy sucks.

But to be honest, I have very little idea of what that means. Don’t try and tell me that the Dow Jones is in trouble and that I should not invest in mutual funds because as soon as you do I will go home and look up “Dow Jones” and “mutual funds” on Wikipedia because I have no idea what you are talking about.

I do understand, however, that there are fewer jobs available and therefore less money ultimately landing in my bank account. This worries me; I’d really like to be rich. In fact, that’s part of the reason why I’m at Penn: so one day someone will see my diploma and therefore give me money and health insurance.

But this plan isn’t foolproof. Graduating from an Ivy League school does not guarantee financial security. So as a public service I have decided to create a list of possible “career” paths to pursue just in case OCR doesn’t work out.
