Yeah, but for every 1 marketing graduate that makes it big like that, there are probably another 10 that end up in some crappy unrelated job.

Similarily, I originally went to film school for a year before deciding to get a science degree instead and there is 1 guy that I went to film school with who is doing really well down in California, and one that works for YTV.... most of the rest are working at Blockbuster. Sometimes I am jealous of the couple that are doing alright, but then I think of the rest, and I am happy with my decision.
