19. I wonder how much of it is salary and how much
is to pay back student loans. College costs in the U.S. are outrageous.

Maybe she's a marketing major .... :D

21. Eleven grand for one MONTH?
Got news for ya, guys: if I'm a businessman and I pay you $11,300 for advertising space on your body, you can throw that one-month shit out the window. For eleven bills, you're getting tattooed.

You might as well sell your body before doing the same with your soul in the corporate world.

24. So you can sell your body for advertising, but you can't sell it for sex.
In other words, you can do it if you're a huge corporation, but not if you're a small, single-owner business.

Double standard, man.
