High school career days (redux): a humorous personal tale

One of my stat colleagues & I used to make routine visits to 'high school career days' to help promote math/science education.

I later encountered a funeral director who also participated in these affairs.
We compared notes.

Turns out, on day 1 of 'career days', if a student hadn't signed up for any of the offerings, he was sent to the funeral director.
On day 2, if a student hadn't signed up for any of the offerings, he was sent to the statisticians.

There you have it: if you're too bored to make your own choice you get Death & Statistics!
