Dream Job


~Dream Job~

Money, money, money,

The world is ruled by money. 

Buy water, buy food,

Buy clothes, buy school. 

University is all about this:

Pay thousands, 

To make thousands.

Work to get money,

Only to spend money. 

What is the purpose?

 

A dream job.

That is the reason for our toils.

To work happy.

That is why we go to school. 

I want to work in lab,

Knowing all my studying was worth it. 

I want to create wonders,

Knowing all those thousands got me here. 

Chemistry is in all life,

and I want to make it help life. 

Chemistry is my passion,

and I want to see it happen. 

 

How do I make this reality?

How do I accomplish my goals? 

Only with support can I. 

Only with money can I. 

 

Once I am paid forward,

I can begin paying it forward. 

Once I get my dream,

I can help others get their dreams. 

 

To happily work,

Is true living. 

 

I want to enginer great things

That no one can imagine.

I want to design beneficial things

That work like magic. 

 

Will you help me get there?
