# Aah poor bloke
I missed replying to you yesterday.
I am impressed you are giving up whatever it is you do to go to university.

I had you pegged as a grown up (over 30).

What sort of career do you have in mind once you've finished?

# I am *counts* 21 days over 30
I yam gonna going to be a doktur init (not sure - possibly psychiatry, possibly paediatrics but I'm totally unsure)

# I went to uni
aged 27. After the army and my business was up and running.

Just for me personally though, not to have any career advancement opportunity.
