Kids Today
Ok, so some background story first. I'm volunteering to help my former college's theater organization to conduct some fundraising at a performance celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the group's formation. Aside from a small role, I'm also helping to develop the Ad portion of the program book.
Last night, we spoke with the kids still in college about our ideas. I know it wasn't even five years ago that I was the lazy, idiotic, and idealistic college kid who didn't know how to do anything, but now that I'm on the other side, I just want to smack some kids around.
When I take the time to volunteer with selling ad space to corporations, it is because I know that these kids don't really have the business acumen to properly sell a sponsorship idea. They should stick to hitting up the local pizza shops and bars. So why do they not want to talk to anyone?
I'm never going to hire anyone from my alma mater, at least anyone who was in the theater club. If you cite lack of car as a good reason why you can't walk down the street to talk to the pizza guy whom you regularly frequent, I can't help but hope you end up jobless for a long time. Idiots!
