Then, I considered the 6 years of school and massive debt, and went into Accounting instead.

I wore a tie and tried to get on...I was one of the first dismissed while rednecks literally covered in oil from working on cars before coming in were selected.

I guess I looked like I knew too much.

Funny you mention that because that's EXACTLY what her friend said was the case. The nicer you dress, the less likely you were to get picked. In most cases, a jury of your peers isn't people in business suits.
