I’ve been busy on some projects and haven’t had a lot of time to peruse the Forums lately. However, I did take time for something I’ve thought about for a long time but never pursued. After high school I went to a technical school to study electronics, then spent a few years in broadcast television and 27 years in cable television engineering management. I had recognition for my work over the years, but one thing was lacking — a college education. My father never went to college and had a great life, therefore his view was that I should just go out and get a job, so I did.
I’m now 60 years old, have accomplished many things in my life, but was seeking something else for verfication that I’m not just another numbskull that somehow did well. A few weeks ago, I tested for admission and received an invitation to join MENSA. I’m now awaiting delivery of my membership kit.

Cool. Congrats....So now does this mean that you get to charge more for your woodworking skills?
Bill,
Good for you! I took a different route, skipped the Mensa application process, and went back to college - at 50!

Whether you think you can, or you think you can't, you're right.
I should probably just keep my mouth shut, but I think there is something very sad about all this.
