I liked chemistry and structure that didn’t involved carbon, and glass paperweights are pretty. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Well, actually, I am an argument as to why you should encourage your children to reconsider their childhood dreams when they hit 18 or so, because I decided at age 4 that I wanted my Ph.D. and maybe that wasn’t the best plan overall.

But I did finish it, so maybe that counts for something.

The conviction that education is better, both practically and aesthetically, is still valid.
