stupid idea

You get this stupid idea that just because you've trained school teachers in a second language, just because you worked with the mayor, school district administrators, and community committee to open the first ever library in a town of 20,000 people, just because you learned an indigenous South American language to improve the outcomes of your work with the teachers and library, just because you scored in the 97th percentile on the GRE, just because you've never been arrested, used any hard drug, or been fired from a job, just because you graduated and from a good college, just because you have recommendations from successful, well-regarded, influential people, that someone would want to pay you more than minimum wage or give you a job that took advantage of more than the fact that you have a human body and are conscious.
