Dad: Hey son, please come here. I need to talk to you.
Son: Yes dad?
Dad: How did the semester go (son is home for Christmas break of junior year)?
Son: fine! I only have physics left for my pre-med requirments. Now I'm thinking of taking A&P, physiology, human genetics, immunology, microbiology, and other science classes.
Dad: That is nice, but why is everything you do and talk about refer to you getting into medical school. People don't give a **** if you want to become a doctor.
Son: Yup! I want to prepare myself for medical school and make me a better doctor.
Dad: I knew you should have gotten a real job while in college. Do you realize that it doesn't do you any good if you don't know how to communicate with others, or how to speak to a person that only speaks Spanish, or how to market your skills? You will just be a person that is full of this knowledge that doesn't know how to use it beyond saying a bunch of big words to other people that they won't have any idea of even knowing how to pronounce the words you just spoke.
Son: yes dady.
Dad: I don't want you to take all of those science classes. I want to see you take some marketing, speech, stats, and economic courses. This way you will learn how to speek correctly in certain situtations, how to analyze data, and how to market your skills. Do you realize that the richest people on this planet know how to market themselves?????????
Son: you are so smart dad. I guess I should get my face out of the organic chem textbook and learn what it takes for a person to be a success in life instead of memorzing the name of this molecule and that molecule all night long.
Dad: yes son, you are starting to open your mind up. Take some time during this break and learn about a different culture instead of having your head in that science book all day long while sitting in your room.
Dad: AND STOP READING THAT STUPID SDN WEBSITE ALL DAY AND NIGHT LONG.
