Today I am going to be a guest speaker for a classful of highschoolers (mostly girls as it is a Health Occupations class) about the wonders to be found in a career as a Massage Therapist.

I never prepare for these kinds of things, I just vomit words and do my best to smack the bored, psuedo(and also quite genuine)-insolence, and apathy out of their eyes, usually by getting them to laugh about something terrible.   

Does PD have any lessons or bits of wisdom that I can* pass on?

$20? Shit. I know times are tough, but that really is low-balling.

I don't know if it was that thread about masks or what but I just dropped all the bullshit.
I ended up telling them that it was an awful field to get into if you wanted to make money or be happy. One girl asked me, "So, why do you do it then." All of my usual answers sounded hollow so I told her that I don't like it when people tell me what to do.

I also informed them of the vicious nature of advertising as a Male Massage Therapist on craigslist, and what horrors may be expected thusly. 

Then I just bitched about insurance companies for ten minutes.

However, I did it all with C.R.E.A.M. playing in the background. Hopefully that provided some sense of motivation and enthusiasm.

Heh, yay for motivational training in schools.
- So the New World Order does not actually exist?
- Oh it exists, and how!
Ask the slaves whose labour built the White House;
Ask the slaves of today tied down to sweatshops and brothels to escape hunger;
Ask most women, second class citizens, in a pervasive rape culture;
Ask the non-human creatures who inhabit the planet:
whales, bears, frogs, tuna, bees, slaughtered farm animals;
Ask the natives of the Americas and Australia on whose land
you live today, on whose graves your factories, farms and neighbourhoods stand;
ask any of them this, ask them if the New World Order is true;
they'll tell you plainly: the New World Order... is you!

I applaud you for not lying to them or trying to be XTREME 4 TEENZ.

This too.

Teens need a good healthy dose of reality, I think.

They gotta realize, not all of them are going to become movie stars or doctors or lawyers or politicians, most of them are going to end up doing shitty jobs they will not like but will need to get by.

You've done a great service to humanity by providing such a thing.

Sweet.

I'm also pretty sure that the speaking time that I volunteered is tax deductable, per my hourly rate.
