The past couple of weeks and the next several weeks have been and will be busy for me. All the ridiculous interviews I have been going to just to get my son into high school have been, well, ridiculous. The admissions directors, to their credit, knew everything about us (my wife and I) and my child before the interview, yet they ask the most obvious questions. How is the academics going? Extracurricular activities? Won Wimbledon yet? OK, yes and no.
Then there is one gauche bag (inspiration from Fly) who asks what we think our son will want to major in in college. Excuse me? Let him have a freaking fucked up teen life before he decides how he wants to spend the rest of life, OK? To be fair, he was the only gauche bag. All other admissions officers were people I wanted to hire to tutor my children.
Anyway, this experience got me thinking of NNI. Need money for education? They will be happy to help to “process” it for you. The first chart below is the daily chart. Looking a bit extended? Yes, but education has long term benefits. Look at the second chart, which is a weekly one. If you understood as you were growing up that education is a long term benefit, look on your own at the monthly chart.
