Poll question: OK, now choose MY next career move!

2. But what if I want to make real money?
Money would be nice for a change. This election stuff doesn't pay so well.

7. They give it to you for free when you open up an account
in the same place that gives you a free gun in Bowling for Columbine.

So you can meet another activist, fall in love, get married and have kids.

Once your first child gets born you'll get a "real" job. This job pays you just enough money to buy diapers, but it crushes your soul. Your loving wife tells you that the job is "just temporary" while you write your book in your spare time. Alas, by the time you come home from a long day licking The Man's balls you're to tired to write.

Months turn into years and your wardrobe gets more conservative. You cut your hair, the holes for your nipple and nose-rings heal up and you develop a comb-over.

Then one day you look in the mirror and the man looking out at you is a bitter, empty shell of a man. So you do the only logical thing a man in your position would do:

You buy an SUV or Porche.

...

Hmmm, maybe you should go for the hobo option... it's safer.

8. I'm going to cry now
Your post makes me want to either never get married and have kids, make a lot of money now before I have a family to support, or just become a hobo. I'm not sure which.

12. No apology needed
I took it as dark humor, but it does remind me not to put off doing what I really want to do.
