Well gollee Srinivas, you certainly tell it like it is.

I did state college fifty years ago. As a worthless English major, I spent most of my adult life banging nails as a carpenter.

But you know what? I wouldn't trade it for all what I have learned about life . . . and for what me and my NurseRN wife received in fulfillment as we loved and trained our three children.

Those three kids all went to highly-respected University.

About fifteen years ago, I tried to break back into academia to get some teaching credentials for local schools. But it didn't work out.

The system's too complicated for a good ole boy like me. I chose not to jump through all those hoops.

Now I write historical fiction novels, 900 blogs and comments on Medium written by people who are in the thick of life but paying attention to all the signs along the way . . . like your, Srinivas.

Thanks for sharing your experience and advice for the up-an-comers, and for the old folks out there like me who are still fascinated by it all.
