RE: Conspiracy! IFC Finals - Second Round
No one actually knows what they are doing. Everyone here is really just winging it, doing the best they can with what they have.
I totally understand that feeling. I remember being 14 and look at some older peers 19-20 and thought they were mature and had their lives together.
Then, when I reached their age, and found myself feeling like I have no idea what the heck I was doing.
Same thing happened when I started working in research labs in university, I recall my professor saying "welcome to the frontiers of academia! If you don't know it, chances are, nobody does."
Let's just say drawing conclusions from data sucked.
Now, same thing with parenting.
However, there are a few things I feel like I have control over. One of them is being a server administrator for a game I play. Straight forward since I'm on the rule enforcement staff.
Parenting, for sure! I do think that realizing no one has all the answers is an important part of higher education.
I don't want to give the impression my professors were incompetent. They were as competent as anyone! It was just my first realization that even people in power are flawed, fallable, and make mistakes.
