I recently was driving behind an 18-wheeler and noticed a drivers wanted sign on the back. For a moment I thought, that doesn't sound like that awful of a job...they make a fair amount of money. I allowed my mind to wander...what would I do while driving all day? Use that radio thing to talk to other drivers? Drink Dr. Pepper constantly and invent a car version of the bed pan? Was there any possibility for productivity? That's when it hit me-- rosetta stone. My plan was simple: Drive trucks for a few months while I became fluent in another language, then apply to work for freetranslation.com, and from there, I could do anything! Then I realized that if I could do this, any truck driver could! What were they thinking sittin up on them radios all day using weirdo names and talking about King of the Hill? This idea clearly needed to be mass marketed to truck drivers around the globe.
Later that week I was watching the Tyra show. The episode was about women in the sex industry, and how they could get out of it. They didn't really have many plausible options in my opinion, and it was then that I realized the answer again was rosetta stone. They could become at least conversationally fluent, expand their client base and save all extra money they were earning. Then, again, applications to freetranslation.com would be in order.
Overall, I really believe in the Rosetta Stone Revolution. Who wants to get it started?
I suppose if it doesn't take off, I at least have a pretty good back up plan for graduation. Hallie perhaps you should consider this as well? You and your truck driver persona "Bacon Bits" would probably be pretty popular on that radio network.
