“I mean how do u explain a first class engineering graduate working as a bank teller?
Or a Political Science graduate being a bartender!!!?
But men, survival is the key here!!.
“Most of these guys u see that do skits are very sound professionals that have turned their wealth of knowledge to amazing creatives!!!.
