Tonight I was part of a focus group with 12 other people.
It was entertaining. I made $50, so I’ll take it.
While there, I sat next to a guy named Jon (his name is changed for confidentiality’s sake. Nah, who am I kidding? His name was really Jon). We chatted for a bit, joked around, basically hit it off well.
During the course of the evening, however, I mentioned that I am currently studying Creative Communications at Red River College.
Suddenly, nice, quiet tattooed Jon spoke up very angrily, “You’re in the program they call CreComm?”
I nodded enthusiastically.
With disgust, he continued, “You’re a CreComm?”
Woops. Did I do something wrong?
Apparently dear old (well young, really—I’d say about 30ish) Jon spent $35,000 (disgusting, right? My BFA didn’t cost me that much!) at the Academy of Broadcasting and couldn’t find a job to save his life—all the jobs went to this horrible cultish group of freaks called CreComms.
(Ya, I also don’t get all the emphases on “CreComms”, but he said it like that, not me)
*sigh*
On the plus side, at least I know I’m very likely to get a job. Thanks Jon. With school winding down, that’s just the encouragement I need.
Plus I got $50 for hanging out with you, so I’ll take it.
