Chris:: Um... pre-REPS?
Kacey: Prerequisites? Chris! How do you not know about college stuff, but you have a degree?
Chris:: Uhh, if I took prerequisites- if I took prerequisites that was in... years ago back in 2000. And it's not like I can remember a small detail like that. I mean, it's-
Kacey: [freaking out] That's not a small detail! Tha- that's college! What?!
Chris:: Well, my parents did not make a big deal about it when they helped me get into college.
Kacey: It doesn't matter- No no no no! Prereqs are not... it- they are not through your parents. They're through the college, just... I mean I... can't buy that you got a serious degree without having to do serious prereqs like that. What did you say you... I- I don't know. Whatever!
Chris:: I think you mean Comput- I think you're looking for Computer-Aided Drafting and Design. Or CADD.
Kacey: Okay, how many years is the degree?
Chris:: [sigh] It was a four-year degree, but I ended up earning-
Kacey: How did you get a four-year degree without any prereqs like that? How?!
Chris:: I sure I- I'm sure I probably took prerequisites, but I did not realize that that's what they were called... I did not know that- that they were called that word-
Kacey: You- You had nothing to do with any of your schooling beside showing up, did you?
Chris:: Showing up and doing my hard work!
Kacey: Hard work?
Chris:: Yeah, I- I did my work to the fullest of my energy. Every single- every single screenshot from the uh... gettin' in front of the computer, working towards- working on the projects for Computer-Aided Drafting and Design on the- and all that. Even then, when I fully designed the CWCville shopping mall. Both stories, all the stores, and the mayor's office. One step at a time. Every single click, every single detail. It's all... burned in my photographic memory.
. . .
Kacey: OK, do you remember anything substantial from school? Besides you made a mall and... you made a mall.
Chris:: I remember... taking my accounting classes for the first major I picked out. Even though I was confused, and lost, when I was- when I picked it out. And can't say any more cause I told her about that fresh from my memory. I talked with her earlier tonight.
Kacey: Why don't you go back into accounting? It's really not that bad of a job. It's not like you'd be getting a degree in philosophy or something.
Chris:: I don't even remember- I- I don't even remember if it really was an accounting degree, I think it was something else. Something like marketing or something. But then, years later, my father and I talk to my- talked to my couns- talked to my counselor- my guidance counselor. Eh, yeah. 2002, something like that. Anyway, turns out there were not as many jobs that that degree could get me, and uh, then there were more jobs available for Computer Aided Drafting and Design, so my father encouraged me to switch over because-
Kacey: Well obviously that's done you a lot of good. Cause you're not getting those jobs. You can't even find them. You can't even google them.
Chris:: Because I was- Because I'm very avid with computers that's why- and then I made the switch, and I just did, I agree with that-
. . .
Chris:: Anyway, yeah. Anyway yeah, switch- it was a major switch, but yeah, at least the credits are transferable. And also I do remember something from my accounting class. You know, the first-in, first-out method-
Kacey: You do know that if you already used credits towards a degree they don't count, right? Like, you're gonna to have to start over.
Chris:: Wait, what?
Kacey: You can't transfer them. They've already gone towards a degree. Chris, seriously!
Chris:: This is like- this is like years ago. And those credits did transfer from my [unintelligible] major to my next major.
