At community college, I used to have a literature teacher who was fond of telling us that she went to Yale.
You know what they say -- if you get a degree in a major like literature, what you can do with it is teach. Well, okay, but teach where? Apparently for her, it was community college.
There was this dude in the class, too, who used to complain about pretty much every reading assignment. He'd say that the piece sucked, or that she'd assigned too much reading, or whatever. She would mildly rebuke him, saying, "Such a master of complaint" or "This is college," etc. but he kept it up.
So, all that education, so she could get paid to listen to that. Imagine what happens to the literature majors who go to some lesser school than Yale! "Did you want a tall, grande, or venti?"
