Well, if those high-voiced actors can't cut it on stage, how else are they going to make a living?
Maybe they could get into the lucrative field of being prescription drug representatives. As the NY Times reveals, the main qualifications for being a drug rep seem to be attractiveness and...experience as a cheerleader! With more and more female doctors these days, I'm sure Matt Damon could make a lot of sales.
After reading the article, I'm left with this question: why are drug reps legal at all? What possible public good could come from salespeople bugging doctors to prescribe expensive drugs? Yes, yes, the drug companies will say that they're "educating" the doctors, but what can a cheerleader with no scientific knowledge tell a doctor that s/he can't find in two seconds on the internet?
