      Back in 1980 when I read Sociology, we studied some Keynes, Schumacher. Reduced working hours, and 3 day working weeks appeared to be in my future.
      Oh yeah, and flying cars for all were predicted.

      It'll happen, eventually.

            That’s as startling of news as saying it gets darker earlier in November… Stunning! We had no idea! It’s only been brought up 2345 times on this forum.

              Yeah but I have a fully funded 529 so I might as well send him to college.

              If you don't take it, it can only good happen.

                It doesn’t mean higher education is obsolete. It just means one should have a practical focus to their chosen course of study.

                  What Mik said. Luke picked anesthesia because there’s still going to need to be a hands on element to it, even if it’s just monitoring the tech, and being the human comgorting figure for the patient..:

                      The people giving out this kind advice always seem to assume that everybody can do this stuff, as well as having the technology access and motivation.

                      I was only joking
