    So, how do we go about making him our collective lawnmower in chief? He is giving us an exit plan on a platter. To sweeten the deal, I'm happy to let him uptalk and vocal fry all he wants. He's saying on record that he 'enjoys' mowing his lawn. Pretty sure we can have him mowing all of our lawns and 'enjoy' it too.

    Fellow oldie here

    When we were in university, professors who had contacts in the manufacturing industry would post a bill on the notice boards stating that some of the factories they know have a slot for visit open. If there was enough interest, the thing would go on like any other group visit. Logistics, dates, etc.

    During the visit, the professor and their contacts would walk us through the shop floor explaining the stations along their production line. Sometimes, there'll be a walkthrough of their logistic decision making processes. Usually concluded with a q&a session with some manager in the factory. Back then, we broke students were curious regarding how our education made us suitable for a job there and what soft skills are expected of us.

    So, hitting someone up where you are interested in visiting might be a good start.

    Or incorporate it. Basically what George Carlin said. Evolution will witness a new paradigm of life plus plastic and will keep evolving as if nothing matters.

    I don't know

    There was this Nobel Prize winning guy called Norman Borlaug. He gave an alright Nobel acceptance speech. Now seems to be a good time to dust it and start reading. Pretty sure it is a short and crisp read.

    With the arrival of near infinite phonebooks, the drive and know-how to remember 100s of phone numbers is lost to humanity.

    Passwords present added complexity to those of phone numbers. On top of a name to number (allowing a few collisions) passwords are required to be of certain length, contain an upper case letter, lower case letter, number, special character, and more importantly, a preset lifetime.

    Password managers seem to be a safer and low stress bet for the vast majority. There will always a few exceptions who can do it all in their head. They don't tend to advertise their presence.

    Coming at it backwards

    Jackie Chan was a martial artist who fought (on screen) his way into the film industry. Hard to imagine Keanu Reeves becoming a martial artist anywhere near the caliber of Jackie Chan's

    There are obviously those like Gary Oldman, who, unless you paid close attention to the credits list, won't be able to tell that he worked in the Fifth Element, Harry Potter, and the Christopher Nolan Batman trilogy. Did he learn new skills for the movies he worked in? Most likely yes. Does he retain those skills? Only as much as he practices them or else like in all of us, I'd wager that those skills atrophied away from the moment respective films wrapped up shooting.

    If anything, those skills look more like accessories to the critical job of acting on screen.

    The question feels lost on the destination for a path. If you can, describe the course you want to take at that reputed university with leafy lawns. What would you like to do with that education?

    Did the fees suddenly explode in 2023 and surprise you? Had you not been looking up the fees prior?

    This path you've chosen and are seeking validation looks unrealistic at best despite breaks, weekends, etc dedicated to catching up with sleep. The question, as of this writing, is silent on weekends and breaks. Let alone sustainability.
