- Oh I'm pretty aware of that. So is my wife.
Also I've seen lots of examples here in the UK, Canada and Australia of attitudes to certain things, like going to college or university are see as being 'up oneself' to use an Aussie idiom.
I'm the only college grad in my family at this point. None of my nieces or nephews have gone to college yet. Same goes for my wife.
All cheap jokes aside, it is just amazing to see how some of the common cultural archetypes get played out. Every generations experiences very similar struggles...It's just that people get caught up into how the experiences are packaged, rather than what the real lessons are...- Share

- I can relate to a point (I mean when it come to the Pixel for me). Sounds like that would be really nice. The missing bits are wireless charging and expandable storage, right?

- I wouldn't mind those extras, but I think the macro shots need improvement. Also that bug has returned. I think I'll just deal with it for a while and if it get too annoying, I'll sell the device.

I was just about to ask about the bug. I'm sorry it has returned, it's really annoying that you have to keep dealing with this or a form of it on different phones. I'm really hoping that you'll get a break.- Share

- I am finally recovering from issues related to depression that I know were going on for a long time before I finally decided to seek help. I wasn't able to move forward to the goals I wanted and needed due to my illness overwhelming everything else. Now I'm finally moving toward what I need to do to change my career.

My comment was more to do with how one can be shaped by their experiences with others rather than that of an illness but all experiences shape us in some way.
What career are you changing to?- Share

- That is the understatement of the century.
As I have grown older I have come to make peace with the way my parents treated me and my brother.
We have agreed to disagree :-)- Share

My wife's parents went to high school and that was the end of their schooling. All of their kids have a college degree(s).
My brother is a college dropout but very successful in what he does for a living.
As I have grown older, I have come to appreciate the diversity around me in terms of education.- Share

What I studied for my graduate degree - the job where I would have applied the learning hands on slipped away from my grasp (it is a very long story). The job I ended up with utilized the skills I learnt during the engineering statistics coursework and I have been very happy with how things have turned out.
What I do for my living actually touches people's lives in a very visceral and real way. Couldn't have found a better career.- Share

- So in London dieselโ cars before 2006 will have to pay extra tax. Interesting enough I saw a lorry full of old car with British registration. Seems like they will be sold in countries like Bosnia, Albania and like.
