"I don't have a career per se. I guess you could say my career is living and loving. And I do that to the utmost. I see all you fresh-faced kidlets sitting there in your neat little rows, and you're all just pods—pods, waiting for your instructions.
"Now some of you are going to get zapped right away and be 15-year-old prodigies, little midget Olympic gymnasts with their pictures on cereal boxes.

"But some of you, and this is the group that no one ever comes into Career Day and addresses, and it's criminal! Some of you are just going to float along, languishing. This group of pods is going to do a lot of languishing. And you're going to take some heat for it. Sadly, you will.

(Stay liquid and have a great day!)
