I’m sure this has a factual answer, but I’m putting it here because it concerns a commercial. The commercial in question had three people stating one thing as a college student and another as an adult. For instance there was a chick who was screaming and being obscene at a protest, then fast-forward to her as a charm school teacher. There was a guy who said he wanted to make money fast and retire at 35. I think he ended up in jail. I am trying to find this commercial, and since there is so much on YouTube I had hopes. But I don’t know how to search. And (showing how effective it was?) I don’t remember what the commercial was for. So–anybody? Who was the client, what was the product, any links, any likely search terms? TIA ---

There’s something vaguely familiar to what you describe, but there have been a number of then/now commercials, so I’m not getting any direct hits.
