    Wait… How did he get rid of the negative symbol before his account balance? You can do that?

    “You must really love fish.”

    “Actually, I’m deathly allergic to them.”

    “Then why do you still work here?”

    “Because I’m even more allergic to poverty.”

    I have successfully used this line, altered appropriately, in interviews multiple times. And they say video games never teach you anything.

    I was meeting with my team the other day, and the conversation turned to our mortgages. My boss: ah yes, the reason we are all here.

      Right? Like, bruh I want to be using my degree to research wildlife and help with conservation efforts that have been a pervasive social issue since I was a kid watching Captain Planet, but those jobs are some of the most competitive while also being some of the worst paying.

      Unfortunately, I need food and shelter yet those are becoming increasingly expensive, thus making it even harder for me to ever hope I’ll get to use my degree at a professional level.

      So, I’m sitting here applying to be [insert some bullshit, mundane job here] so I don’t starve. I would literally rather be anywhere else than here begging from you for the means to fucking exist in this society.

      But you can’t say that in an interview.
