Creating vs. taking roll

I'm a bit of an academic person. I have a tendency to read www.aldaily.com daily and I am within striking distance of a second master's degree.

Well. I just got an email yesterday on the listserve that makes think twice about being a professional student. This woman already has two master's degrees AND a PhD and she is now working on her second doctorate.

She's not going to make any great discoveries at this point. This is almost selfish!

But designing a yard. Planting flowers. Using heavy equipment to plant large trees. The whole process requires knowledge and the end result is so beautiful. School lead to many things but it isn't the only path. Also when you divorce school from all practicality you get stagnation.
