WOULD YOU MIND GIVING MY SON SOME CAREER ADVICE?

HE WON'T LISTEN TO MY ADVICE BECAUSE IM HIS FATHER.

YEAH, THAT'S THE REASON.

SO, JUNIOR, WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO FOR A CAREER?

I WANT TO DO SOMETHING I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT.

AND IT HAS TO BE FUN BUT NOT A LOT OF WORK.

HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY THE REST OF US DIDN'T THINK OF DOING SOMETHING LIKE THAT?

IS IT BECAUSE YOU'RE IDIOTS?

THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT YOU THAT SCREAMS "MANAGER."
