Yeah I've wasted a lot of my life studying about places, geography, space, developments (for example, my average post count on here is 9 per day... ugh), etc... still don't have a degree though
I guess I shouldn't say useless, it came in handy when I left home and, having never before been to any of the places I've moved to since (Ottawa, Kelowna, Chilliwack, Vancouver, and Calgary), I knew exactly where to go to see the things worth seeing and how to get there. So that's kinda cool.
Thanks for the compliment!
