Episode 34: What are your plans after graduating?
Alvin: Well hello there, Team Alvin! I'm back with another-
Theodore: Um, don't you mean, Chipmunk Podcast?
Simon: Ugh, save your breath, Theodore.
Jeanette: We're back with another question, from a new commenter, @LORAINEJD!
All: Oooohhh!!!
Theodore: What does it say, Jeanette? What does it say?
Jeanette: Well, she asks: "What do you want to do when you grow up, after graduating in college/university, for example?"
Simon: Finally, a question I can relate to. I should probably go first, since this is my kinda thing.
Alvin: Alright, Big Brains. Go ahead.
Simon: I plan to become an advanced theoretical physicist, or something of the sort. You know, something challenging. After studying at a very prestigious university and graduating, I'll probably apply for an apprenticeship or internship to gain work experience, which I will then put on my resumé and curriculum vitae... Oh, that's CV, for layman's terms - or Alvin's terms.
Alvin: Ha ha, very funny. Besides, I don't know what a CV is either.
Jeanette: Seriously, Alvin? How will you get anywhere in life without knowing what a CV is?
Simon: That's the thing. He WON'T get anywhere.
Brittany: Me next!
Simon: Now hold on a sec; I wasn't done!
Brittany: Simon honey, you and I both know we'd be here all day if you were gonna talk about your future.
Simon: *crosses his arms* Fine.
Brittany: I wanna go to a performing arts college and study drama, where I'll go on to become a famous, well-known actress-
Alvin: *sniggers* Pssshh... yeah RIGHT.
Brittany: You really think you could do better? Alvin, you can barely spell your NAME.
Alvin: Rude! *mumbles under his breath* But also accurate...
Brittany: ANYWHO, as I was saying, I'll become a beautiful actress. Plus, I'll probably run a side business while I'm at it. A beauty parlour probably. And become a beautician, too.
Simon: Your future seems pretty adventurous, Brittany. Are you sure you'll be able to pull it all off?
Brittany: Hey! A girl can dream big, okay? Anyways, Theo, spotlight's on you now.
Theodore: Well, you guys know how much I loooove cooking... right?
Simon: I would never had guessed.
Theodore: Oh... really? Aw man! I like cooking, okay, Simon?
Simon: Theo, do you know what sarcasm is?
Theodore: Uhhh... *scratches his head* Yeah?
Alvin: Clearly NOT.
Theodore: Anyway, I wanna be a chef, and go to chef school!
Simon: Y-you mean, culinary school?
Theodore: Uh, y-yeah. That.
Eleanor: Well, Theodore, you and I have very similar goals in life. You see, I wanna be a chef too! Maybe, Theo, you and I could compete on MasterChef together!
Theodore: Really? Yayyy!!!
Eleanor: BUT, that's only gonna be a side job. I wanna train to become a professional footballer. You know, women empowerment, and all that. Women can play too, and I could crush any man. Anybody could challenge me.
Alvin: *sits up* I'm listening.
Eleanor: You and me, penalty shoot-outs. This afternoon.
Alvin: T-t-today? But-
Eleanor: Oh, unless, you think you can't do it.
Alvin: Of course I can! I just... need some time to train-
Eleanor: Chicken! BAWK-BAWK! BAWK-BAWK-
Alvin: Fine!
Jeanette: Umm... anyways... About MY future, I want to pursue literature. I mean, chemistry or physics was on my mind, but I'm not exactly an Einstein... or a Simon... when it comes to science.
Simon: *rubs his neck* Aww... Um, thanks, Jeanette!
Jeanette: It's true, Simon! I'm better at the books, and you're better with the chemicals!
Simon: If you aren't planning on being the next Einstein, like I am, you could become the next... Shakespeare!
Jeanette: Gee, that's a great idea!
Theodore: Wait! But isn't Shakespeare a guy?
Jeanette: *facepalms* Oh Theodore. Not literally. Anyways, I'm considering a professor in literature as a career, too. That's about me. Alvin, you're up.
Alvin: Well, well, well, saving the best for last, huh?
Brittany: Literally NOBODY was thinking that.
Alvin: Thank you, Britt. Anywho, my plans for the future?
Simon: Thanks for reminding us of the question. Any chance we could get an answer?
Alvin: Well... my plans... uhhh...
Simon: Some time TODAY would be nice?
Alvin: Pffft... footballer... I dunno.
Simon: Let me answer that for you. Based on how Alvin's doing currently at school, his plans would probably be something along the lines of: flunking school, not graduating at uni, asking Jeanette or me for some spare cash- since the two of us are most likely to earn the highest income-
Brittany & Eleanor: Uh, RUDE!
Jeanette: Aw, thanks!
Theodore: He's... not wrong, though.
Eleanor: Theo! Whose side are you on?
Theodore: Wait, there's sides?
Simon: And... yeah.
Alvin: Now that's just...! Ugh, you're not wrong. If I don't get my grades up now, I ain't goin nowhere.
Simon: With that grammar you definitely 'ain't goin nowhere'.
Eleanor: Aaaanyways, see y'all next time, fans!
All: BYEEE!!!
Alvin: Just to be clear, guys, I don't plan on ACTUALLY flunking school!
Simon: Unlikely.
Alvin: When I want your opinion I'll ask for it!
