Which show should she tune to or should she just tune out and call it a night?
2. Vladimir has been watching reality TV shows his whole life. He doesn’t remember a time when they were not popular. He’s just turned 18 and realizes he doesn’t know what he wants to do for the rest of his life, but thinks he knows a lot about reality shows. He thinks he should just start his own show with a couple of friends and he’ll be set for life. What should be his next step? Should he just chalk up his lofty goal and get a traditional career in the industrial industry?
