Back in the dark days when I was a transient ward of the educational system, counsellors would set me down and ask me what I planned to do professionally for the rest of my life. They really really liked the phrase "for the rest of your life", as I recall, and used it a lot. I'd answer that I didn't know, because I hadn't yet seen a complete list of the available options. To this day, I still haven't. Meanwhile, the time wasted on these sessions would have been much better spent eating something fattening. Ron N
