Salesman Bill Fried thought he was keeping it real when he told Palo Alto middle schoolers at a career day this week that strippers can earn $250,000 a year -- and $50,000 more for every two-inches they expand their busts.
In fact, I once gave a little talk at Kyla's high school about the kinds of computer-related career choices there were. Since Kyla is majoring in Biology, you can get some idea of how effective it was. Missy once pointed out in her politically incorrect way, though, that unless your name is Ramesh, computer programming may not be a great career choice for the up-and-coming.

Since we're on the subject of career choices, I might also add that your efforts to convince me to take up a career in engineering didn't succeed very well either. Though for that matter, neither did Mom's efforts to get to me to take up syncronized swimming. My fall-back career plans for now (in case I don't make the cut for the FBI) are: migrant farm worker, stable girl, or trick rider (that one proposed by my polo coach after a particularly spectacular fall last year).
Kyla I have tried that trick rider thing and it is way overated. I'm reminded of my experience every time I try to pass thru a metal detector at the airport. Of course with that Yale degree you may be able to pull it off.
