(sorry I didn't see this earlier... 3:05 "Work is more fun than fun").

This got me thinking about my current occupation as a student and future occupations and what I want in one. Me being a student isn't 'more fun than fun', but it certainly isn't 'that minimum wage job' that allows me to just barely live off of credit and drown my problems in alcohol.

I was raised as a spoiled white kid - and I intend to stay a spoiled white child. A lot of people (including Mr. Fry) that I've talked to or heard say to just study something that you're generally interested in and 'money will come later'... but ,if you ask them to sincerely look you in the eyes and tell you that they go to work because it's fun, I doubt many adults would be able to. They go to work because it gives a paycheck, not because it is fun. It makes money. I want to be able to support my hobbies and to live a very comfortable life, just as I did as a child and as a now young adult. This, unfortunately, requires money.

This is a pretty crude and example, but I am going to sink financially if I just do what I want to do. Let's say I'm interested in Asian studies and Asian history. I'm fairly certain that some museum curator or tour guide for 'some museum' does not make anywhere near what an entry-level petroleum engineer makes. Money is the thing that fuels the machine.

It's very unclear how we're supposed to go about structuring this video. Mrs. Burvall (or whoever printed this document) had already marked up some points before passing them out -

"Science focuses on the facts, not the people who unearth them, but that doesn't mean that large groups of people can't agree on something that is totally wrong."

"... Without all the facts in place, they used psychosurgery because it gave them the results they were looking for."

"... This sort of turnover in science is common".

The 'guidelines' do not specify how much content we're required to have, or how this content relates to itself. I suppose we could summarize the article and then explain how these quotes are evidence? I mean, the article is really simple - it simply says that you shouldn't ask someone well versed in Asian history about the best toothbrush for whitening teeth.
