>>>No, I was just doing it for fun! Abstract algebra (Lie and Jordan in particular) and higher-order categories were classes that I was taking for recreational purposes. I completed my last MSc 11 years ago but I am still attending 1-2 graduate classes a year. Learning is something I cherish and it probably explains why I like to switch jobs every few years...

>>BTW, if you want total and absolute joy then get your private pilots license. Piloting an aircraft is the most enjoyable activity I've ever done. Sorry, but that includes sex too. Flying episodes lasts a lot longer. :)

It's different when you are the pilot in command :)
