video/text; AS SEEN ON BWITTER

[recommendations]

[ There's a series of ads that have been featured on many hip social media outlets lately: Bwitter, Rumblr, Instagraham— all featuring a curvaceous young model with sleek, shiny, and voluminous black hair. There are sweeping violins in the background, rose petals everywhere, and some smooth-talking salesperson detailing the organic health properties of the trendy new shampoo and conditioner formula called: Brillianse! ]





[ The commercials promise softer, sleeker hair that lasts up to 48 hours on a single wash, with a scent that will catch the attention of all those you pass by. The model beams and flips her hair over her shoulder effortlessly, playing the perfect part of a shampoo commercial actress.

Buy Brillianse! Only $12.99 in select stores now! But don't take our word for it! Momo Yaoyorozu says it's BRILLIANT! Brillianse! ]

How do you know when you've made a good career decision?

[fource]

I thought you did very well in the shampoo ad! Is that why you're worried?

[recommendations]

Yes, a little. You don't think it's "selling out"?

[fource]

Does the shampoo actually work? And would you recommend it? If so, I wouldn't overthink it.

[recommendations]

It's fine shampoo. Among the best I've used, for the price.
I'm still not sure how I feel about being in the spotlight this way, though.

[fource]

I'd say it's better to be in the spotlight for a business decision than for other reasons. You're not advocating for a bad product or doing anything unethical, right?

[battysitter]

If you like what you are doing, then it's a good career decision, no?

[recommendations]

I suppose... I'm not sure whether I particularly like what I'm doing just now, on its own.

[battysitter]

Why are you doing it, then?

[recommendations]

Where I'm from, this kind of work is often part and parcel with the vocation I have been training for, so I thought it would be relevant experience for me.

But doing just this, without the main part...? It's not what I had envisioned for myself.

[battysitter]

training for? For what?

I don't know about experience, though. I hear when we go back, you forget everything.

Thats easy

youve made a good decision when work doesnt feel like work and you go to bed feeling satisfied with yourself

also asking if you made the right choice is kind of a tip off

at least thats how it sounds to me

[recommendations]

That's a good way to distinguish it.
I suppose the work I'm doing now isn't very satisfying.
I would be fine with it if it went along with other duties which I've been training for... But all on its own, I'm not so sure.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

well what have you been trained for? Theres gotta be plenty of work out there if youve been trained for it

[recommendations]

I'm in the hero course at my country's premier Pro Hero high school.

[forgeabettertomorrow]

oh youre part of that class of heroes too?? Ive heard of that

if thats the case why not supplement your job with more hero like things??

like going on routine patrols? Get yourself out there and endear yourself to the locals

[explosivo]

[ ..... ]

If they're paying you an assload for this sellout shit
I don't even know if that's worth it

[recommendations]

[ >:T ]

They're not paying me all that much, in all honesty.

[explosivo]

Do I need to kill them until more money falls out?

[recommendations]

What? NO!!

[explosivo]

Then they're being cheap bastards just trying to screw you over for fucking SHAMPOO COMMERCIALS

[fehus]

i think it's probably one of those "if you gotta ask" moments...?

[recommendations]

Yes, that seems to be a consensus...

[fehus]

there's always running away from your job and joining the circus.

[recommendations]

I don't think I want to do that.

[fehus]

that's my career advice tapped out.

can i ask what your job is?
