Radio astronomy is a job

You are still young
So young
So, so young
I didn't school until I was almost 29.
@Mainebot ok good point but also i hate school and 30 wouldn't be very far from my life expectancy
@CobaltVelvet I thought that until I was suddenly the age I never thought I'd reach. Besides it's better to go and try and start doing it if you love the idea, and then never finish, than to never start and hate yourself for it.
School is good, if it's what you want to learn.
@Mainebot it's the implementation that i don't like, the many small things in it that make me distressed and absolutely inefficient
@CobaltVelvet you can throw up as many obstacles as you want, but that doesn't stop you from being fundamentally capable of not just doing it, but excelling. I know it. You suspect it. Everyone else can see it.
@CobaltVelvet most of school, for me at least, was sitting and listening, writing notes, and talking to the instructor like an equal, not an instructor. I did well, despite being a high school dropout and an emotional disaster.
Do that for a while, write some shit, synthesize your thoughts, move onto the next thing. Very little bullshit.
