I get it now

My grandfather suggested I go to school for hotel & casino management (like everyone in MS does if they aren't already going to school to be a fucking card dealer or bartender). I told him I already know what I'm going to go to school for and I am excited. He said my idea was probably the easy way out (it isn't, that's stupid) and that hotel & casino operations was the best idea because there are plenty of jobs here.

Here are the reasons why I would rather be set on fire than to do this.

1. If I go to school to learn to manage a casino, it will be hard to find a job when I go to any of the (all but a dozen) cities in the world that don't have casinos. I hate casinos. I hate working for them. I don't want to live around them and I don't want to manage them.

2. I've worked at enough casinos to know that all casino managers are fucking miserable.

3. Being set on fire has a better benefits package.

I've finally realized the key to working at a casino is to do as little work as you can to get by. You never really get promoted based on your work ethic, so why kill yourself to do a good job? At the restaurant I'm working for now, I work my ass off everyday, and in turn, I'm rewarded with all of the hard jobs that none of the other lazy fucks want to do. Terrific! If I were running a casino, I wouldn't hire anyone that didn't want to do their job. And that would be my biggest problem right there.

Another problem I have is that I am going to take a second job so I can have the money to pay off my car and pay my rent and start school, but the only jobs in MS that pay anything are fucking casino jobs. Fortunately, I've been offered a valet job if I want it. If I have to work for a casino, I want to at least work outside of it.

The other reason I don't want a degree in hotel & casino operations is that I would want to run my department the way Deniro ran things in Casino (the movie). And then I'd go to jail or something.
