Not only that, the part about about the best and brightest on planet earth, but at the same time, who's gonna cook the french fries?

(With all deference to those who are making an honest living cooking french fries today, on planet earth, mind you.)

All too true. SOMEBODY has to take out the garbage.
It's all good, decent, honest work. Not so for the drug dealers, pimps, thieves and such.

There were several years that I had to do those kinds of jobs. Our folks didn't have much money so if we wanted something special we had to work for it. We had daily chores to do and also had REGULAR big housework to do twice a week to earn our allowance.

I was delighted that my folks let us keep our allowances for what we wanted.
Other students had to give their parents HALF just because. They then had to put 25% of it to college funds and they got to keep the last 25%.

My parents also insisted that we go to college. I even ended up with an M.A. degree. I was just darn lucky.
