She needs the camp job to pay the student loans.

Ahh!! A summer camps that turns children into robots. Not unlike the US public school system.

Man, I was myself carded every time until I was 40 and the grey started to filter in.

Not that ridiculous. From the New York Times last week —She Just Earned Her Doctorate at 17. Now, She’ll Go to the Prom.Dorothy Jean Tillman II of Chicago made history as the youngest person to earn a doctoral degree in integrated behavioral health at Arizona State University.

Many moons ago (50+ years), I worked with a PhD in physics from Harvard who looked like he was 15, even when dressed in suit and tie. He was definitely in his early 30s.

Dr. Baxter. Smart people are amazing. I know of a guy who went through Princeton in three years. Then he got a Rhodes Scholarship so he went to med school at Oxford University. Then he did his medical specialization at Yale. Oops, gotta go, time to mow the lawn.

I know someone who has a background in psychology, has one doctorate, currently working on another, a master’s in a related field, a hypnotherapist, an ordained pastor, has blackbelts in multiple martial arts, and a gourmet chef. Seriously.

Talk about an underachiever…

That reminds me of a Tom Lehrer line during one of his performances:

It is a sobering thought that when Mozart was my age, he had been dead for two years.

Wrong; that’s the Charter Schools; curriculum set by FL gov DiStupid.

I think my new primary care doc is 15 if he’s a day.

It’s probably an Ed.D.

oof…

just smile and nod and slowly walk away…

And in the end she lives in a trailer park

The counsellor looks like she could be Kim’s little sister.

Anyone want to hazard a guess about what is in that case Mike is handling? First panel it has tubes or cables and is then zippered up?

Boy this subject/storyline really seems to be “triggering” a lot of people huh! Echo chamber much ???

There’s an Oriental Doogie Howser??

It’s the kid’s faux pas for not introducing her as “Doctor”. I have one friend with a Ph.D. and don’t you forget it.

Moving on up.

Ha! Ha! to snsurone76 above. Robots make the best consumers that money can buy.

Ah, to be near the lake when the trees are changing colors…white…green…black…
