"Have you considered your future, Archie?"
"Have I considered my future? Well, lets see... I was top of my class in junior, secondary and sixth form college. I was first violin in the school orchestra, captained the girls' volley and football team, was head prefect, woud've been head girl if it wasn't for a dirty campaign run by Katie Clark, which I refused to lower myself to. I volunteered for community projects, helping disaffected youth and disenfranchised elderly. Ran a breakfast and an after-school club, got 15 A to A-star GCSEs, and five A-star AS and A2 levels. I worked at an ethically-sourced cocoa bean plantation in Costa Rica in my gap year. I was the first student from my school to be awarded an unconditional offer to study politics, psychology, and sociology at Cambridge University, which is where you find me now. Do I sound like someone who has not considered my future?
"So what do you want to do?"
"I don't know."
