# Michael : And what am I supposed to do with my life, huh? I work in a low-paying, zero-respect job. Which, unfortunately, I happen to love.
Julianne :: Michael, it sounds like a great opportunity.
Michael : Does it, really? How come you never took some sellout establishment job? Huh? I'll tell you why. Because that isn't you. And guess what? Kim. That's not me, either.
Kimmy :: Okay, if that's the way you feel... #
May I know the meaning of the above phrase ?

It is about someone taking up for himself and his choice of career. His fiancee tried to get him to work at her father's company so that they could be settled. But that just wasn't him, and he wants her to love him for him, not who she wants him to be.

It means taking a job for something you don't really believe in. You are "selling out" because you are trading your values for money. The "establishment" is big business, corproate business.
