What else ya going t' do? Work for 'the man'? Education makes the 'working life' much easier... less hours or more money...effectively more freedom...
Sure I sacrifice twenty or thirty hours of my week, but I actually enjoy doing what I do & I get paid enough that I can do almost whatever I like for the other... let me see... (- (* 24 7) 25)....
143 or so hours of a given week...
Which is mostly sleep, run, yanswer, blog & look up things & people that I enjoy...mostly girls who run, yanswer, blog & look up things....
&, anyway, who sez we will all die?
perhaps we are part of the first generations who will live on... bit by bit replacement... digital immortality (versus digital immorality, which goes on now & I enjoy immensely)...

p.s: are you Irish?

What else are you going to do before you die? Live in a cardboard box and suffer?

The quest to always learn new things and grow. When we stop seeking knowledge, we become a passive society.
