What's a job?

Chod's days at Utah State are coming to an end. He is still working on his PhD, but with Phil's retirement goes his funding. And while he could still be employed through the end of the year we realize that job squatting really isn't the best way to go. So he's been job hunting.

I have tried to explain to the boys that Dad will be getting a new job...

The first thing they want to know is what the new job's team will be. As in football team. You know, right now it's the Aggies, so what will the next team be?

1. Not every job comes with a football team.

2. Once an Aggie, always an Aggie.

Next, they're curious about what Dad will be studying at his new job. You know, learning.

3. Not every job is a graduate degree. 

It's at this point that I realize that they don't get it. And it is time for us to leave college life behind and introduce them to the job scene.
