This article about 24-year-old twins Kristy and Katie Barry really got under my skin. Inaccurately titled, "Jobs Wanted, Any Jobs at All," it's all about how they haven't been able to find jobs as journalists. Hello, they're entry level. Hello, there are plenty of experienced journalists who need a job right now, ones with families to support and 401Ks to fund. And hello, they DO have jobs, as bartenders. As someone who subsidized her dream career with restaurant work well after I landed in the city, it's really, really hard to feel sorry for these girls. And I love how their career objectives include "have our own TV show." Honestly? Yes, just out of college, this is a completely viable plan. I suggest these girls move back to Ohio and apply for The Real World. They can even use their college skills and write about the experience. Problem solved!
BTW, what are they doing in that top left picture? Maybe they can get a weekend gig posing for figure drawing classes. In what world do large-breasted twentysomething blondes have a legitimately difficult time with, well, anything? Hmm, maybe Flora knows...
