I had this conversation years ago, and it's the kind of exchange you only have in college:
Me: What type of work would you like to do after you graduate?
Student: I'd like to do something with sound. I'd like to find something that combines sound and light.
Me: Oh, well, good luck with that.
Student: Thanks. What would you like to do after you graduate?
Me: I'd like to go into radio as a DJ and eventually as a program director.
Student: May the heavens permit that.
Me: Thanks.
