Wal Mart - the real world

It looks like the closest I get to the real world during my week of college is a trip to Wal Mart.  It looks like Wal Mart has been a weekly routine for me and it seems like I have some excuse to get something at Wal Mart.  Wal Mart is a fun store to browse through - you can find anything in there from music to coffee pots to clothes to technology - everything is at Wal Mart.  It looks like it is the big store where you find everything - it is, indeed the real world.

I applied for a job at Wal Mart and I might be contributing to this multi billion dollar corporation. I always heard that Wal Mart workers are treated unfairly - but what do you expect; Wal Mart is a store and they want you to work and they wanr you to work hard.  They don't want you slacking off with good pay.  It seems like there are many benefits of working at Wal Mart and it is to look at the typical customers that go to Wal Mart.

Wal Mart does have it's share of diversity - you have everyone who needs to eat and up on some pants, and some are not even wearing any pants are shopping at Wal Mart.  I heard stories of people who sleep at Wal Mart which is a 24 hour business. I can go to Wal Mart at 3:00 in the morning when I can't sleep and this is where you find all the real creatures of Wal Mart.  A lot of them are in their pajamas and then some.

It seems like I seem to get educated when I get to that store - I think a lot of my problems are solved in this store.  I think it might be something about seeing people other than myself going through their everyday business - it seems like when I get through that store, everything seems to fall into it's place. I am starting to see that I am not alone and there are some people that are in worse condition than me.  With having a girlfriend; I realizer that I don't want to wind up like some of the people in Wal Mart.

I think it will be a fun place to work.  It is close and convienent and I will always have something to talk about. I'll start having an assessment of what is truly happening in the world.  A lot of the subjects in the college curriculum works great with Wal Mart, especially in the field of the sociology and psychology, economics, and human diversity.  Human Diversity and Wal Mart fit together.

There are things in the college that doesn't fit the real world and the real world is Wal Mart.
