I hear you - and I wonder what *I* would have done with my life had I <br>
been exposed to such a choice of interests. I was at the top of my <br>
class until highschool, and then schooling killed any interest I had in <br>
learning anything for many many years. As my older brothers told me, <br>
"Don't worry, it gets better when you're out of school." We all hated it.<br>
<br>
What a terrible pity and a waste.<br>
