D.S. Credito's definitions

real job

steady employment with fixed salary and working hours, as well as potential for growth and advancement. Having a real job may mean working in a field that is incompatible with partying, taking drugs, or assuming an otherwise unconventional lifestyle.

People with so-called real jobs might enjoy high salaries, but what they trade off is the chance to experiment and discover what they truly want out of life.

college

where dreamers can go to secure a plan B for their future employment prospects

Jenny always wanted to be a singer-songwriter, but her parents persuaded her to choose English as a college major, for a fallback plan.
