I hear ya man. It's a money machine. Luckily there are books, and now the internet to help. school's dumb. i'm gonna do hobby science. Hell fucking ya dude. That is exactly where I'm at. I figured that out a long time ago. ((I think I'm a bit older.)) It's the same with music. I play the piano but have no real interest in joining a band and all that. But even closer to the point, and regarding me talking your ear off about geology...That is reallly my mindset. There were many times I was parked somewhere odd, next to a road cut, or some lookout, or hiking spot, that was questionable, okay...I always was ready to tell any cop that I was an amateur geologist with the knowledge I could explain how. Even if was just, really chillin' by a waterfall. Some people say, make your hobby your job and you never work a day. But sometimes, keeping your hobbies yours is a wise desition. I know geology, but I don't want to tap oil wells or look for suitable places for unsuitable buildings. I'd rather play the piano when the moment hits me. And look over a landform and actually see Millions, if not Billions of years of history. :-) --- "Whatever the reason you're on Mars, I'm glad you're there, and I wish I was with you." ~Carl Sagan.
