      I don't think I could ever go back to school for precisely this reason. It's bad enough my professors are/were usually dumber than me. But younger? No way.
      To us, it is the BEAST.

          The time will come when everybody you depend on will be younger than you.

            • Lori, I'm going to make you an offer.

              Each week you attend all those classes -- on honor -- I will put $5 down on the Kickstarter of your choice, which will be credited to you (if I can figure out how), and received by you.

              I, of course, reserve the right to refuse kickstarters I personally find disagreeable, but you are free to choose another one.

              Deal?

              You already have this week in the bag.

                  And I'll respect them when their intelligence and competence exceeds mine.

                  If it makes you feel better, I think people older than me are stupid too.

                    Intelligence and competence aren't everything. They aren't even the main things. But I do agree re. going back to school. I've been doing it over the past few years, in the education sector, and while a lot of it is illuminating a lot of it is just make-work crap, which I had little patience for when I was younger and even less now.

                        • I'm sorry, TMM. You didn't do anything wrong. I have, uh, issues with acknowledging and accepting support from other people. My automatic thought is that if people are invested in my success in any way, then I will disappoint them when I inevitably fail. It's something I'm working on.

                          • But the people invested in your success will be the kickstarters receiving the donations, and if they aren't aware of the possible donation, then there's no way you could disappoint them.

                            That does mean that Colon's kickstarter is out of the question though

                              Lori, I am invested in your failure. Do not disappoint me!
