Having A Job Quotes

I want a guy who is entrenched in his own life.

- Julian Schnabel

School is just like having a job. You have to show up, you have to do your work, and you have to be around tons of idiots or mean people. Now that I think about it, it's worse than having a job. At least there you get paid.
