 So I'm kind of stumped. I kind of want to find a job around here.  [The Dreaming Bridge was nice enough, but with no school and no ghosts to fight around here, Danny was starting to get incredibly bored.]

But you know, I'm not really sure what I could do besides the local equivalent of flipping burgers. Anyone got any ideas?

You mean job skills? I made sandwiches for a restaurant for a while, and then I did basic maintenance stuff at a hotel for a while. You know, changing lightbulbs and installing doorknobs.

That's it? Nothing extraordinary? Just 'making sandwiches' and 'changing lightbulbs'? Where I come from, we already made robots to replace people like you!

Yeah? So what do high school students do for their first jobs, if burger flipping isn't on the list any more?

Rifling through trash for money and bullets, for the most part. But if you've got ambition, you'd start thinking big.

Pretty sure ambition is something no one has ever accused me of. [One of the few things he'd never been accused of.]

Euuugh... So you're just fine with that? Flipping burgers for the rest of your life? C'mon, kid. Is there anything in life that you really want?

Not the rest of my life. But it isn't like going to school here will help me out at all when I get home.

[And he was going to go home for good. Some day. He hadn't given up on that yet.]

And seriously. I'm sixteen. I'm not supposed to have the rest of my life to figure out yet.

Sure, maybe not. But you can get internships while you're here. Experience always looks shiny on a resume.

Re: voice

....Right. And when someone asks about where this internship was, I tell them what exactly?

[amaskofmyownface]

You say a company in a foreign country. It's technically true. C'mon, be a little creative.

Re: voice

[invisibill]

And then they ask why a perfectly ordinary midwest teenager somehow got an internship in a foreign country? That somehow doesn't have an address or an email address or a phone number?

Unless you're applying for a high level job right away, they're not gonna care too much to check the validity of all that, kiddo.

Put something that weird on a resume? Of course someone is going to ask. Its weird and weirdness stands out.

[Although it wouldn't be as big a deal for someone who wasn't going to extra effort to make himself look normal. At least as normal as things got when you were a Fenton. ]
