Making The Most Of Your Degree...Without Funny T-Shirts

By Peter Mills


Ah, those glorious college years. You remember them vividly and with a hollow place inside your chest that should be filled with thoughts of scantily-clad drunk girls and irresponsible drinking. You have three things to show for your time spent in school: a college education, a beer gut, and a closet full of funny t-shirts. You may want to go out and use some of that college money to get some new, grown-up clothes. You can't keep wearing those funny t-shirts everywhere, my friend. There are, in fact, some places where funny t-shirts are a definite bad idea.

One of the most important places that you're going to want to ditch the idea of wearing funny t-shirts is to the job interview. You're a burgeoning professional now that you're out of college, but that first step to that new personae is to actually get a job. For anywhere from four to ten years, you have worn funny t-shirts and pajama pants to class, meetings with administrators, and out to eat. You may have forgotten what a sloppy individual that's turned you into. You will never get the job you want if you don't wear something with a collar to the all-important interview.

You just spent several years in college doing what most college kids do, and that's drinking and general debauchery on a weekly basis. You have a lot of sin to confess to at this point, and God has been waiting patiently for you to be a grown up and to come back to church. The only problem is that God requires that you try to look like a respectable human being when you come to his house, and your old funny t-shirts don't really fit the bill. Plus, church is a great place to meet possible work contacts and even some nice, upstanding young women.

In the world of the post-graduate, it is much more difficult to find a girl to take notice in you. In college, everyone just wanted to have fun. Money was less important to a woman and it was more about looks, personality, intelligence, booze, or just good bedroom skills...if you know what I mean. Now that you're cruising the bars and clubs for suitable mates, your funny t-shirts are just not going to cut it. You need to look like you have some cash in your bank account, even if you don't have a bank account yet. If you don't, then you might as well learn to be asexual and to love your own company.

So, let's take a short moment out of our day to do a quick recap. First, if you don't start wearing your funny t-shirts in appropriate situations you will not get a job. Secondly, you will be forsaken by God. Thirdly, women will hate you. Do you realize yet that funny t-shirts are now only useful for playing video games in or playing touch football? You might be able to sneak them to a company picnic or team building exercise every now and again, but your days of pajama bottoms and funny t-shirts are over, my dear sweet grown-up.
