A Conversation

So, the other day a father was talking to his daughter about life. He asked her, “what do you want to do after high school?”
She replied, “I want to go to college so I can get a good job.”
“Sounds great,” the father replied. “What is a good job?”
“I don’t know,” she answered with a straight face.
 Meanwhile, the father’s head slumped as he shook it slightly in disbelief. He mustered up some courage and asked yet another question, ” Well you already have a job, so is that the good job you are looking for in the future?”
Again she replied, “I don’t know.”
With a final thought in desperation he asked her, “Well if you don’t know where you are going, then how do you know if you are not already there?”
She just stood there silently glaring at him with eyes made of stone. I do not think she ever figured out an answer.
