What's Wrong With This Country? MBAs.

Since I've come to UChicago...low budgetry abounds...alas. We'd all like to think our ivory towers are high budget...if a bit musty and pretentious, but they are not. But the most disturbing and strange bit of low budgetry is this. Observe, if you will, for a mo:

If you can't read it quite well enough it says "LOOKING FOR INTERN - BIZ MAJOR CALL FOR MORE INFO @..." Well you get the picture. So, I'd like to point out first of all that this kind of advertisment is perfectly cool for like..."we're looking for a drummer for our garage band"...or "Missing: Fluffy the Cat." But really really unacceptable for anyone looking for an intern. Frankly this handwriting and style of pamphlet only says to me "I AM A SERIAL KILLER. LOOKING FOR GULLIBLE COLLEGE STUDENTS TO RAPE AND KILL." Basically. Is what it says to me.

But let's say...for the sake of argument...that this person is not a serial killer and an actual business major. First of all, why could they not spell out business major? "biz major?" That's not a thing. You use biz as short for actual business when you are like...I'm in the entertainment biz...and that's pretty much the only time you do it. And why do you need an intern? You need an unpaid laborer to do your work for you? Um, last time I checked...in academic circles...that's straight up just cheating. Like if they wanted to gain experience at what business school is they should probably go to business school...cuz I'm pretty sure that "I did work for a business school student" doesn't qualify as an internship on your resumé. Sorry.

Possibly Justin is just a really nice guy who just wants someone to be around to prevent him from making crappy flyers. I don't know. But next time Justin...just...don't.
