Congratulations, 17-year-old brother. You cracked the case.

After GChat-complaining to my brother that I was too broke to buy coffee in the morning, he offered the following explanation for my unemployment:

me: i'm unemployed

Nicholas: well

you majored in art

at harvard

me: yeah but it was harvard

Nicholas: yeah but

yeah but

me: HARVARD

Nicholas: you could have done like

art history

or

me: i minored in art history

Nicholas: something

substantial

not just

pretty pictures

and tampons

So it really is universally understood that I am fucked.
