Calling all Graduates

As an addendum to Monday's post, I'd like to add the Balfour people to the list of monopolistic geniuses. The premiere graduation company, they really know how to capitalize on the system. They service entire school systems and are the only people on campus taking orders. And after all, who doesn't want a high school graduation announcement to show how proud they are of little Suzy? Not to mention a graduation ring--she's worked hard, after all!

But these people don't just stop with high school graduations. They service colleges, law schools, medical schools...the list goes on. If you're graduating from anything, chances are good the Balfour people will be there congratulating you. And they'll be providing forms to order announcements, rings, "certificates of appreciation," and all other regalia you could imagine.

Having said this, I'll be ordering a modest amount of graduation announcements from them this afternoon. Maybe one day I'll come up with some sort of "necessity" for a large group of people, like graduates, and make my very own fortune.
