'Enjoy the end of your law career': College student pizza guy ends law student boss's career before it starts

Working while in university is an interesting experience. Every time you're at work, there are people trying to convince you that your minimum wage job making smoothies (or pizza) is the most important thing in your life, more important than the actual degree that you're working towards, which is the whole reason why you're there in the first place. 

"There's no way my minimum-wage job is the most important thing in my life right now," you tell yourself as you impatiently wait for your shift to end so you can go home... But five years down the track, when you still have never managed to find a job using your degree, you might start thinking that maybe they were right after all. What was all that studying for anyway?

Still, these university-adjacent workplaces are full of other student workers who take their jobs overly seriously, more seriously than anyone ought to take any job, let alone when you're just making smoothies. These feverous workers are determined to make your life miserable because their shift-supervisory role has given them a petty amount of power for the first time in their lives, and they are frothing at the chance to wield it. This creates some high-stress situations with some tyrannical bosses who probably have no business with a degree in a professional field, let alone being responsible for managing other people.
