Dream jobs

Before coming to my school you might think that students dream of becoming astronauts, scientists, teachers or football players. Nevertheless, one day they tell you: "The ideal job is that of a porn star!" At least, being aware that they are able to hack porn accounts, you are certain that they're developing their... digital competence and entrepreneurial spirit, I guess.

Why should we study?

I’ve remembered something that some naughty students once told me: “Why should we study, if we’ll probably end up working in a MacDonald's?” So I guess the most logical thing to do is not to study and to end up living under a bridge…

But you see, they’re nihilistic!

I’d like to tell them something. “Do you know what entropy is? It is a physics principle according to which all systems tend to reach a state of chaos and disorder. I’d connect that with our lives. Our life only gets more and more difficult. We’ll find more and more obstacles. Today you may be acceptably comfortable, but tough times will come and until them we might have added some order or even more chaos. That will determine the possible results: a quite satisfactory life or a terrible ordeal. Of course there may be circumstances that alter the estimated outcome, but I cannot take them all into account, and we all know that ‘good / bad luck’ are always present.”
