Shadow Game

Jilly had always been the star of the twin sisters, always getting the attention.  But Julie, just as pretty, had just gotten her degree from the University of Phoenix in public relations and media relations, and she had just been offered a job at the local NBC affiliate while Jilly had been out partying.  “Now,” she thought, “we will see; Jilly will be purple with envy, and I’ll be out of her shadow”.. . . .  David, Sf.G.

Hard Times

Sunnie assumed that with a degree in broadcast science from the University of Phoenix (on line) she would have no trouble finding a job, if not at a major network, at least some local affiliate as a news anchor.  But times were hard; she couldn’t even get a job reporting on local high school football games on Friday night . . . .  David, Sf.G.

Lady Gaga’s Degree

JoAnn, although no longer a kid, was still a fan of Lady Gaga, and when she got an official Gaga Tweet that the University of Phoenix (on line) was going to grant Lady Gaga an honorary degree in “Entertaining Lifestyle Counseling,” she knew she had to crash the party.  She hoped that her own personal style would also be entertaining.  . . . .  David, Sf.G.

A Job With the Band

 

Jim Bob (pictured) even though from Texas, had never really liked country music.  His real love was Tchaikovsky –Swan Lake, etc.   After band in high school, a degree in music from the University of Phoenix (on line), and finally taking a doctorate in modern classics from Juilliard, Jim Bob was hoping for a job with a major orchestra, maybe in the percussion section, where his natural talents lay. . . . .

Modern Ranching

After getting his degrees in animal husbandry and ranch science from the University of Phoenix (on line), Chick had applied for and gotten a Federal grant to try to raise native prairie dogs to feed hungry raptors and coyotes.  He wished there was a way to prevent those stupid cows and the horses from stepping on some of his little herd; it not only ruined a good meal, it drew those loathsome vultures . . . .  David, Sf.G.

A Little Dignity

Robert  had graduated from the University of Phoenix (On Line) with a degree in  pest control and a master’s in rodent eradication.  He hadn’t minded being called “Bob” (not your uncle) while in school, but thought that now that he was successful in the rodent control business, he should be a accorded a little more dignity and be called Robert . . . .  David, Sf.G.
