So what you're saying is, if I hadn't dropped out of high school during my 17th trip around Sol, I wouldn't've gotten stuck in this dead end job? Probably I wouldn't have that honorary MSCS degree either. Wouldn't've wrote all that code, nor those RFC's, nor started those various companies. Wouldn't've found my various mentors nor been a mentor to any of the folks who count me as having been one? Is that how a college degree would have improved my career by age 39? Sounds like a bad deal to me. -- Paul Vixie <vixie@eng.paix.net> President, PAIX.Net Inc.
