Job – Guitar Player

Carey had a pretty normal life, 2 parents, a younger brother, loved music and chasing girls. He went to college with the intent of getting a degree in business education, only because that was what his mom wanted, but he couldn’t get into it. So Carey dropped out and didn’t tell his family; they thought it was just a break for some visiting. He joins the tour with his family and the Phillips who travel for Molly Phillips, a singer. A few days later, he confesses to Molly that he quit and she tries to persway him to tell his parents, but he doesn't. The lead guitar player in Molly's band is asked to play for someone else for a gig, and never returns. And there’s a big benefit concert that Molly is to play at and without a guitar player, they’re screwed. Carey plays the guitar really well and knows the songs, and Molly realizes that he would be a perfect replacement. Unfortunately Irene says no way; she wants her son to have a "real job", still unaware that he quit school. Then finally she learns from a temporary telepathic ability of what he did, and to say the least she is not happy! But she grants him permission to play for the day. Carey is extremely nervous but plays fantastically. And from that point on he is the lead guitar player in the band.
