And I didn't really want to jump over these hurdles, because they seemed completely arbitrary, so I often wouldn't, and then people would threaten me, you know, they'd threaten me with this "going on [my] permanent record," or "You'll never get a good job." I didn't want a good job!
Y no tenía muchas ganas de saltar estos obstáculos, porque parecían completamente arbitrarios, y a menudo no lo hacía, y luego la gente me amenaza, saben, me amenaza con esto "está quedando en tu registro" o "nunca vas a conseguir un buen trabajo". ¡Yo no quería un buen trabajo!
