So... If you answered four out of four questions correctly, you are a
true professional. Wealth and success await you.
If you answered three out of four, you have some catching up to do
but there's hope for you.
If you answered two out of four, consider a career as a hamburger
flipper in a fast food joint.
If you answered one out of four, try selling some of your organs. It's
the only way you will ever make any money.
If you answered none correctly, consider a career that does not
require any higher mental functions at all, such as management or
politics.
