Daily Nebraskan Supplement February 9, 1987
Liberal mis in bmmmemlmM
Romantic visions of attic living shift to executive success
Whenever I tell people that I'm
an English and philosophy
major, their response is,
invariably, a look of stunned surprise,
as though I'd just told them I was a
gravedigger, a harp seal clubber, or
some other such exotic and
unpleasant occupation. After The
Look always comes The Question "Oh,
really? What are you going to do with
that?"
Chris
McCubbin
Now some of us will answer, "I'm
pre-professional." And others will
answer, "I want to teach." But for the
vast majority of us the correct answer
to the question is "Nothin."
The solemn truth of the matter is
(just between you and me) most of us
in the liberal arts see our majors
solely as an excuse to avoid honest
work for the rest of our lives. Not that
we want to attend school for the rest
of our lives, (though that's a viable
option that many do choose) rather,
we see our academic backgrounds in
the arts as intensive and essential
training for a life of indigence. -
In short, we want to be bums. But
not ordinary bums. Not that we
come right out and say we want to
be bums. Heaven forbid. If an
admission like that ever got back to
our parents we would never see
another birthday check as long as we
lived. So the stock answer to the
question is, "I'm an (artist, writer,
musician)." Pick one.
We don't mean it. An artist must
buy or find materials, and then
assemble them in a creative manner.
All that takes time. A musician is
required to practice, even (shudder)
to perform. Writing requires hours
hours that could be profitably spent
in stealing your acquaintances
canned food and records be spent
in that most filthy and tedious of
menial labors writing.

Such inglorious pursuits are not
for us. We prefer the glorious,
romantic freedom of the open
road. There is a sublime and sinful
pleasure to be had from telling the
protestant work ethic to go sit on a
tack as you settle back, mouth agape
like a baby robin, waiting for society
to drop a fat, juicy worm.
Of course, few among us actually
have the intestinal fortitude
necessary for such a life. Most
common and tragic is the unfortunate
one who, a year or two after
graduation somehow forgets just how
romantic starving in a garret really is.
Within a couple of weeks this poor
figure is being addressed as "dog
breath" by an old, ugly, loud and
ignorant gentleman in a silly-looking
but immaculate uniform. Or, even
worse, doing telephone solicitations.
