Well... thanks for the post. I'm not sure you're talking to the right guy, lol. I got a 1420. Scored perfect (was that 800?) on the SAT II writing. The math was a joke. Might as well have gone to Uni. But I still wrote almost 500,000 lines of code since I graduated high school, that businesses around the country rely on daily. Never went to college, so all that SAT stuff was for naught, lol. I also spend my whole workday smoking, and at least half of it drinking. A good third is devoted to drugs; and all of it takes place in a stone structure from the 15th century in central Europe, a lifetime from my taxi in LA. So I'm constantly going out to drag frozen wood into the fireplace.

I just did my taxes. I made a little more than $28k this year. And worked about 2 hours a day. And kept my clients happy.

Some of us just aren't made to run the race. Maybe it's not the shape or size of the brain, but how it works. Just can't take the pressure.

Thanks for your kind comment.
