I'll Never Understand My Step Mom
Since my brother graduated from Notre Dame last May, my stepmom has been bitching about him finding a "real job."

The background on this is he wanted to bartend in Madrid for a year but was told he'd get cut out of the will if he did so. In response he's been living at home and bartending on weekends.

So, now he's decided he wants to be a high school teacher.

"That's not a real job," she told him. "Too many Calendars have been teachers."

I just don't get it. I know that she wants him to be a banker or a stock trader or something of that scale - but you can't make someone want that life.

Fuck, America needs smart high school teachers. It's a fucking noble profession.

I'm unsure how she thinks she'll accomplish her goals or what the point of her goals are. Does she really want him to make a lot of money but be miserable?
