An Unusual Career

Prompts = Misanthrope, Genteel, Problematic

‘Hi Bradly, take a seat. As your high school guidance counsellor, I like to start these meetings by asking if you’ve given any thought towards what post-graduation will look like?’

‘I want to be a misanthrope.’

‘You want to avoid human society?’

‘Professionally. I want to get paid for not attending events.’

‘Why would anyone pay you for not doing something?’

‘Out of gratitude. See, I’m too genteel for my own good and everyone knows it. Me trying to be social is problematic. Thus, pay for my absence.’

‘That’ll be quite the advertising campaign.’

‘I’m already working on it!’
