I'm thirty-three a father of one and a stepfather of four, and my mother
still warps on the usefulness mantra. Today's useful is tomorrow's passé,
IME. Live *your* life, develop *your* talents: since you are on this list
you probably would make a very good and happy linguist or philologist and a
very bad, unhappy economist, and that's most important in the end!
Min ekonomi har alltid varit sämre än min kreativitet. Säkert! ;-)
