Hi Fairdalebigfoot,

I set up a Facebook profile where I can post my pictures, videos and events and I want to add you as a friend so you can see it. First, you need to join Facebook! Once you join, you can also create your own profile.

Thanks,

Dear David,

There is no way you have 1,963 friends.

Dear Fairdale Bigfoot,

I need to go back to school and finish my degree, but I don’t know what to do with myself. I have 68 credits, but in no major. I like helping people and numbers and planning things. I don’t like blood, guts, snot, feet or kids. What will help me be prepared in such an unstable job market??

Yours Truly,
Not a Nurse

Dear NAN,

Before you amble back to the university, think about what you really want to do. Don’t worry about money. In this economy, the only jobs are in the blood, guts, snot, feet and kids markets anyway. Why, the classifieds are full of ads for human Kleenex, sock inspectors, leeches, tapeworms and child wranglers. Fairdale Bigfoot once applied to be all five at once. The story was sold to 20th Century Fox and later released as Mrs. Doubtfire. All of the details were changed, though Robin Williams’ body hair was accurate.

Perhaps you want to be some sort of people-helping number planner. Have you considered a career in numerology? With that profession, education is a detriment. Accountants are in demand at least once a year, so why not study tax law and market yourself as a number cruncher for the common man? You could offer discounts to low-income clients. Plus, you would be in one of the few professions that let you wear a transparent green visor without looking foolish.

And let us not forget that all the great movie heros that were accountants: Rick Moranis brought down Viggo the Carpathian in Ghostbusters 2. Charles Martin Smith figured out how to bust Al Capone in The Untouchables. Plus, there’s Gordon Gekko, Robocop and that guy from Lethal Weapon 2.

Good luck in school.

Sincerely,
Fairdale Bigfoot
