− | + | {{w|Robert Frost}} wrote a poem about a road splitting two ways. One way was obviously well traveled, the other had probably only had a few people on it ever. He made the point that the well traveled path had no surprises in it, that because everyone took it, you could know that it would be the safe way to go. Blonde is taking the more traveled path. She doesn't know what she wants to do with her life, so she is going to follow what is known, go to Grad School. Graduate School, for those that don't know or use a different term for it, is the next level of education after Undergraduate work. People in Grad. School are pursuing their Master's degree. | |
− | + | [[Megan]], on the other hand, has decided to become a lighthouse operator. Which is a path that is becoming increasingly less traveled. Fewer people need lighthouses. Before GPS technology, lighthouses were invaluable markers of where the sea ended and where land began. Megan likes the idea of being the maid in the highest tower. Except, most fantasies portray the maid in the tower to be helpless, but operating a lighthouse is far from helpless. It can be one of the most needed jobs for sea-farers to find their way back home. | |
