RE: How I Became A "Professional" Writer: A Kid Story
Thanks for sharing your story Rich - it reminded me a LOT of my own experience while completing my Masters. Long story short, I had to "help" my brother a lot on his Master's Thesis - I didn't get paid however....d'oh! Also whenever anyone in my family had a book report to get done, guess who had to do all the reading and writing - this guy!
Higher education is definitely a classic case of consumer fraud but at least in your case, it paid you pretty well in college! I wish I had some filthy rich Arab guys at my college......
It was amazing... The college had to know! These guys (Arabs) were idiots, very polite, but none of them could pour piss out of a boot (even if the instructions were written on the heel). They were just buying degrees!
Yup all colleges are essentially selling degrees - we're all paying for that diploma, except now it's without the guarantee of a job after graduation lol
I had a professor (a real one) tell me I was better qualified to teach than 90% of the faculty... They were all phonies!
If I was still in college, I would totally sign up for your writing class!
Wow... I take that as a compliment! You're no slouch yourself- I've read your stuff (and stylistically, you're as good as I am at least!)!!!
Now that is a huge compliment - thanks Rich!
