What do you do with a B.A. in English? / It sucks to be me

[Mordecai]

a song from the show "Avenue Q" :D


What do you do with a BA in English?
What is my life going to be?
Four years of college, and plenty of knowledge
Have earned me with this useless degree

I can't pay the bills yet 'cuz i have no skills yet
The world is a big scary place
But somehow I can't shake the feeling I might make
A difference to the human race

when i was little i thought i would be
a big comedian on late nite tv
but now i'm 32 and as you can see, i'm not
oh well
it sucks to be me!
it sucks to be me!
it sucks to be broke and unemployed and turning 33

I'm kinda pretty and pretty damn smart
i like romantic things like music and art
and as you know i have a gigantic heart
but I don't have a job or a boyfriend
fuck, it sucks to be me
it sucks to be me
it sucks to be me

youl rives suck?
i hearin you correctly? ha!
i commin to this countly
for opportunities
try to wolk in kolean deri
but I am Japanese
but with hald wolk I earn two masters degrees
...in social work
...and now I am therapist
...but i have no clients
...and I have unemployed fiance
...and we have too many birlls to play
It sucka sucka sucka to be me!!

"I wish I could go back to college"

I wish I could go back to college
life was so simple back then
What would I give to go back and live
in a dorm with a meal plan again?

I wish I could go back to college
in college you know who you are.
You sit in the quad and think, "Oh my God,
I am totally gonna go far!"

How do I go back to college?
I don't know who I am anymore.
I wanna go back to my room and find a message
in dry erase pen on the door

I wish I could just drop a class
or get into a play
or change my major,
or fuck my T.A.
I need an academic advisor to point the way

We could be sitting in the computer lab
4 A.M. before the final paper is due.
Cursing the world 'cause I didn't start sooner
and seeing the rest of the class there too!

I wish I could go back to college!
How do I go back to college.
I wish I had taken more pictures.

But, if I were to go back to college
think what a loser I'd be.
I'd walk through the quad and think, "Oh my God.
These kids are so much younger than me."

It's totally worth every cent. I think you can get tickets for cheaper than 90...

Awww, well. Perhaps some day Coca-Cola will hear the cry of me, the Little People. Until then I'll just drink the occassional caffeinated Vanilla Coke and intensely hyper for a few hours!

So, are you (or anyone else here) going to graduate school after graduation?

[Shea]

I am going to get my BA in English as well, what I am going ot do with it I have no idea. Its really the only thing in school I was interested in and so, I chose it as my major.

I know I don't want to teach. maybe publishing......

I know its a useless degree but I enjoy it.
