In this monologue, the speaker condemns a mindset of privilege and entitlement among some Ivy League students who believe they can secure desirable jobs without putting in effort, such as completing internships. By juxtaposing a carefree sibling who parties with a hardworking sibling who balances school, work, and internships, the speaker illustrates how entitlement can lead to the false assumption that one can simply claim any position because of elite education. The speaker challenges the audience to question why some feel entitled to opportunities that others earn through sustained effort, emphasizing that success requires work rather than relying on perceived status.

Chapters

Imagine being in that thought of being like, I don't need to do any internships, I'm gonna party while my brother is taking internship every summer. He's working, maybe like working at the same time he's in school, he's working double hours while trying to do stuff, and she's living the time of her life, which, you know, that was her choice, that's fine. But like, this is gonna be like a cakewalk, and being like, you can dictate what he can or cannot do. After he's been very focused throughout those years. Comes from such a place of privilege and entitlement that you think that you can come out without doing any work, just be like, I'm in this Ivy League school, I could pick whatever job I want, and I'm gonna tell you, you can't do that one because I want it, right? What makes you feel like you can have that and they can't? That's crazy.
