BP…if you only knew how many “degrees” I have…lol. Being an adult and parent I can now reflect on that experience through a different lens. As a student, notably an undergrad, its normal to focus on “getting a job and being relevant to the world”. But as you grow older you reflect on undergraduate school and see it differently. So will you in 20 years or more.

Lots of older adults go back to school to pick up a liberal arts degree or a degree in music performance or something like that…just for the fun of it and the enjoyment of learning. FCLS is such a place, I believe.

Just enjoy the ride, focus on problems you can help resolve, and the stuff you can’t move on. Wait till you get in the corporate world and see the sorts of problems that they have. We are witnessing a lot of it…the greed, hubris and incompetence that lead up to this market meltdown. And the POOR decisions some of our “leaders” in business and government are making as we speak. Look at SEC Chairman, Chris Cox…and his unbelievable performance the last two years…really rather shocking how bad it has been. And he could have stopped a lot of the pain by reinstituting the uptick rule for short sales and still yet today is doing nothing. Why? Either he is a glutton for punishment and enjoys inflicting pain or he is beyond incompetent. But I digress.
