Now that you mention it, I have never graduated from anywhere in my life. I dropped out of high school, then wound up getting a university scholarship a few years later, did about a year of university and then got snapped up by an employer and offered a job in Parliament.

To be honest I've never felt formal education was a place for smart people...

Sadly not while I was there... closest I saw to an old celeb alum dropping in was *gasp* George Soros. Gave a good talk too. But then, I would say that, globalist shill that I am.

Meh. I have known smart people inside formal education and out, but I have mainly seen real instances of genius in Universities, had the privilege of working with some of them on various projects.

this nation is inactive. also a lot of my old non-nspb forum posts are cringe.

It doesn’t matter your gender, race, or sexual orientation, people are people. We are all people and should all accept each other.

Usually, my nation's choices do not resemble my political views.
In real life, I'm a libertarian/somewhat conservative boi (lmao how much this has changed. I moved WAAAAY to the LEFT lollll) from the great state of Ohio. Again, the choices of my nation do not entirely resemble my political views, but I should add that I wasn't trying to take a super ultra realistic approach when I wrote my factbook.

I'd eventually like to hit a University and go further, but that isn't in the cards right now, if ever.


A GED is definitely solid. I imagine you're too busy with work and whatnot to go further? I hear that a ton from people, and it's extremely valid, because going back for classes conceivably can take a ton of time.


I'm married and a parent. I work 60 hour weeks and am the primary income for my family. I can't afford to go to school for at least a few more years at the earliest.
