Playboy Enterprises has job openings at their corporate headquarters downtown. Its times like this when I wonder to myself, what would it be like to work at Playboy instead of going to medical school? I've attempted to weight the pros and cons of working for Hef:
Playboy, Pro: Stealing things with the Playboy bunny logo. I bet stationary is killer.
Med school, Con: Tests. Lawsuits. More tests, high suicide rates.
Playboy, Pro: Parties based entirely on how little you can wear.
Med school, Con: If people start taking off their clothes at parties, you feel sick to your stomach.
Playboy, Con: Perpetual reminder that Hugh is older than you, yet has sex with girls younger than your girlfriend.
Med school, Pro: Get to change your title to Dr. on personal checks.
Playboy, Pro: Casual, silk pajama Friday.
Med school, Pro: Save lives; not ashamed to tell your grandparents what you do for a living.
Playboy, Pro: Even your rich investment banker friends are jealous of the fact that you know how Victoria Silvstedt, playmate of the year 1997, likes her coffee.
I'm tempted to say that physicians try to make the world a better place, but really, playboy has dominated that category for men, so I'll call that point a draw. Now I'm sure that working for Playboy is like any other desk job, and that it isn't nearly as glamorous as it sounds. But lets face it, for both medical school and Playboy, you sign a contract to guarantee discretion. The difference is at Playboy, they want to keep you from ogling all the naked beautiful women you see, in medical school, they don't want you telling anyone about Mr. Smith's hemorrhoids.
