Perhaps not stupid but growing up in a different age... though I can't say much as I'm just 19. The older man is telling Benjamin that there is a great future in the plastics industry. It's funny as the man is taking himself far too seriously and as Benjamin's reaction shows, being rather ridiculous.

Plastics represents everything that's fake in the world, everything the main character hates and wants to get away from.

The line "One word"plastics" was almost cut from the film because even before1967 Nichols thought it might sound too dated. But then he decided that sounding dated was a big part of the humor.

I think he's just unsure of what to do with his future and everything just seems... lame. I'm not sure it has anything to do with suburbia.
