I have never told anyone what i do as a profession. Working for PDF actually helps my studies. I'm doing an off campus course in 'war peace and conflict studies', with focus on 'prevention of nuclear war in S.Asia'. The goal is to produce reliable information about the horrors of such a war for laymen to understand.
Plus im doing a science degree on campus.
This place helped my in my studies and the work i have 'published' in paper. If your interests are similar to your time on PDF, it becomes education. Over the years i have learned how to seperate pragmatic ideas from stupid ideas and how to integrate them into quality work. If our members focus on the education aspect of forumming, they will actually find ways to extract tangible intellectual benefits, out of it.
I don't have kids.
