Much education today is monumentally ineffective. All too often we are giving young people cut flowers when we should be teaching them to grow their own plants.

I might have been a good botanist. I like plants.
I think that maybe "botanists" who make artificial plants get their jobs because they falsified their diplomas.
But back to me. I think I really would have been a great chemist except that when I got my microscope for Christmas one year, my parents took the chemistry stuff that came with it away from me. I have always harbored resentment about that.
Of course, at that time, the chemicals might have included things like mercury or asbestos or DDT.
