Blue,

admit it. you're too pround and lazy to work with your hands. you know
that plumbers, nurses, electricians, etc. make a lot of money but you'd
rather be paid zillions for sitting around reading books and
intellectualizing.

Very few people can expect to be paid for intellectualizing. Only college
professors in the humanities and law can expect to earn their living
intellectualizing. those jobs take long time to get, are very competitive,
and gradually disappearing because universities are moving away from the
tenure system to contract system.

roll up your sleeves and join the rest of the world.
