I was looking for a job/internship through my university’s career service office because my mom told me that my plans of ‘just hanging out at home for the summer’ must be code for ‘I’m getting a highly productive job.’ I couldn’t bring myself to return to Subway for the summer and so when my career counselor suggested applying to PT I researched the program online and decided immediately that it qualified as a ‘productive’ job.
