>He didn't takes the SATs in late elementary/early middle school and get accepted into a T-10 child prodigy program If you aren't the top 0.02 percent why try.
I am a late boomer
>>16870300>why try.cause coasting by is enough, and my goals are to just be a professor nothing special.I have no illusions about my abilities and potential.I'm a lazy bastard to the core.
How many child prodigies actually do anything useful of their life? We never hear from them once they grow up.>>16870315>my goals are to just be a professor nothing special. I have no illusions about my abilities and potential.I think you do if you think being a professor is nothing special. Any given university doesn't post jobs every year and their postings usually get hundreds or thousands of applicants. Getting into academia and staying there is like a lottery.
>>16870300I tested top 99th percentile in all elementary standardized testing. I dropped out of state university, started three businesses with a total valuation >= 7 digits, got married, and have three grandkids. I never took the SATs.In the time you took to post this thread and sit around waiting for responses to squeeze out that last sad, withered drop of dopamine, you could have thought up another item to add to your skillset so you could someday make something out of your life, but you did this instead.Protip, for your future: Leave 4chan alone until you're retirement-ready, then you can have fun shitposting instead of burning away your most valuable years on ego-masturbation.
>>16870300>skip all that an do investment research>find multiple 10x and a 1000xSuddenly I have more money and time that I can use for making ideas come to life, even if it involves learning I can learn in far greater comfort. That's just so far, while playing it safe. Who knows what comes next.
