LOL hehehe as I predicted

Edit: Just to clear up a misconception...I did not say I had anything against people in school., I didn't say I didn't like my profs. I didn't say anyone was a less valuable member of society. And while I was generalizing that always compels people to try and come up with exceptions to the generalization....try to do an apples to apples comparison [img]smile.gif[/img]

Oh and someone mentioned about people going straight from highschool into college...well yeah, thats who I am talking about as these are the vast majority of the people who live in the world of academia. And for every professor you point to who had a "Varried and wide ranging life" I can show you ten others who have never done anything but teach, or write books.....or both.
Nothing wrong with that mind you...but it does limit the scope and depth of a balanced life...they tend to focus soley on their field of expertise.
