A translation of a Spanish joke:

A boy finishes his baccalaureate and he does not have the desire to study anymore.

Ah! So you do not want to study? Good, but I will not maintain you, you are going to work.

The father, who has some political connections, tries to obtain employment for his son and speaks to a friend:

Hi Manolo, you remember my son? Good, the baccalaureate is finished and he does not want to study anymore.. He will need a position so that he begins to work while he decides if he is going to make something of his life, you understand?

Three days later Manolo calls:

I have found something for your son. Adviser of the Commission of Health of the Senate. About 9,000 euros per month.?
Nooo, Manolo! That is madness! he must begin from the bottom.

Two days later Manolo calls again:

I already have it. I obtained a position to him Secretary Deprived of a Deputy. The pay is more modest, of 5,000 euros a month..
- No, Manolo! I do not want such an easy life for him. I want him to feel the necessity to study, you understand me? If he gains that position he will not study anymore.

Next day:

I have an Assistant to the One in charge of the File, needs a little computer science, clearly the pay goes way down it would be 2,800 euros nothing more.
But Manolo, please, obtains something more modest, he is a boy still. Something for 500 euros.

That is not easy, in fact it is very difficult - Why is that?

You see those positions are by competitive examination, you need a lot of skill and a university title, a Masters or more, do you understand to me your son could never qualify?
