Ryan and his career

Ryan: Mommy, why does Kristin have to go to school on Mondays?

Me: Because in Elementary school you go every weekday.

Ryan: Why do you have to go to school every weekday?

Me: So you can learn

Ryan: Why do you need to learn?

Me: So you can know lots of stuff

Ryan: Why do you need to know lots of stuff?

Me: So you can get a job when you grow up

Ryan: Why do you need to get a job?

Me: So you can pay for stuff, and have a house to live in

Ryan: Why would I want to do that?

Me: Don't you want a house to live in?

Ryan: No, I'm going to live at your house forever!

Me: (laughing) well actually Ryan, Mommy will probably tell you you're gonna have to get a job and get your own house if you want to be an adult.

Ryan: No, I don't want a job. I don't like jobs. I don't know how to do a job.

Me: That's why you go to college! Don't you want a cool job?

Ryan: Nah

Me: How about a doctor?

Ryan: Nah

Me: How about a dentist?

Ryan: Nah

Me: How about a firefighter?

Ryan: Nah

Me: How about a banker?

Ryan: No thank you, I'm just gonna live with you.

Me... gives up. lol ...(yeah, you can see why I get paid the big bucks at the college to advise students in the job world, lol)
