Quotes 

• Unnamed employer : I'm sorry, Mister...

  Brantley Foster : Foster.

  Unnamed employer : I'm sorry, Mr. Foster. We need someone with experience.

  Brantley Foster : But how can I get any experience until I get a job that GIVES me experience?

  Unnamed employer : If we gave you a job just to give you experience, you'd take that experience and get a better job. Then that experience would benefit someone else.

  Brantley Foster : Yeah, but I was trained in college to handle a job like this, so in a sense I already have experience.

  Unnamed employer : What you've got is college experience, not the practical, hard-nosed business experience we're looking for. If you'd joined our training program out of high-school, you'd be qualified for this job now.

  Brantley Foster : Then why did I go to college?

  Unnamed employer : [laughs]  Had fun, didn't you?
