since i have been accepted into university this year (i start in about 5 weeks) i have started going to various social get togethers organized by the engineering department (who look after IT students)
background: my father in law's programming business is a highly desirable place for students to work, mostly because of the perks - they produce software for sports organisations (including olympic teams and even NBA and NHL teams). as a part of this there is alot of travel and attendance at the best sports events in the world.
i was taking to a 3rd year student (final year of undergraduate study) when the following took place. conversation was going well until this:
me: so what are you doing when you graduate? got anything lined up once you graduate?
S: yeah i'm going to work for (FIL's company)
m: really? sounds good. doing what?
S: programming and installations. what about you, where do you want to go once you graduate?
m: i'm off to FIL's company too. got a firm offer and i have not even started study
s: no you wouldn't. they don't do any offers until you have done 2 years of study.
m: well i'm a special case
s: what you a retard or something on a special access scheme?
m: no, i'm fu**king the owners daughter!
conversation ended there.... wonder why.
