Future trophy wife

If you're in college, you live in the "fake" world. In the "fake" world, lollipops fall from the sky as we ride ponies to class and have afternoon tea parties with holograms of bunny rabbits and dead ex-presidents. \n"Oh, Woodrow, your Fourteen Points absolutely slay me. More tea, Mr. Pointy Ears?"\nA lot of crazy stuff goes down in this "fake" world, but the main purpose of being submerged in this environment is to prepare us for the "real" world. \nMaybe you came to college because you derive masochistic pleasure from spending hundreds of dollars on books you don't read or maybe you just wanted to perfect your beer pong skills. But most of us came to college because we want to get a job. \nThe only problem is (and I suggest you read the following aloud in your whiniest possible voice) it's hard to get a job. \nFor example, employment for those in my field of study -- journalism -- is expected to grow more slowly than average during the next 10 years, according to the U.S. Department of Labor.\nSome people choose career paths with a greater chance of landing a well-paying job. It is up to the rest of us to marry those people. Of course, I'll try to get a job even if the market is bleak, but if that doesn't work, I think I'd like to be a trophy wife. \nMy plan is to marry a wealthy man who can support me \nfinancially. \nI'm not trying to set women's lib back 50 years or anything. I'd still be following my dreams, perhaps receiving some paper clips in the mail as a token of gratitude from someone who published a story I wrote. I just wouldn't have to worry about money. I might as well change the term to trophy spouse. There are plenty of fellas out there with majors just as unmarketable (read: useless) as mine. Regardless of gender, we're all pretty much screwed. \nFifteen out of the top 20 jobs with employment projected to grow the fastest in the next 10 years are somehow related to the medical field, and the rest are computer-related. Some of the jobs on the list requiring a college education are nurses, teachers and managers.\nIf you're headed in that direction, congratulations. You've chosen wisely. \nEven if the rest of us find jobs, we'll probably be eating out of dumpsters. \nBut I agree with Journey when I say "Don't stop believin'." Everyone should continue to listen to their hearts and study what interests them, but the University should adjust its curriculum to prepare those of us with less marketable majors for the "real" world. \nI suggest the addition of Trophy Spouse 101. \nI'll be graduating pretty soon, and I know how to look for a job, but I don't know nearly enough about how to find a rich husband. \nThis course would prove invaluable. I have so many questions. Where do rich people like to hang out? What do rich people look for in a mate? How can I acquire these skills/qualifications? \nIf there are any rich guys reading this, drop me a line. I promise I'll love you for your personality.
