Your knowledge, persoective, and experience are valuable. Overall I appreciate this comment. But condescending to someone who disagreed with you is uncalled for and detracts from the rest of what you're saying.

I'm 52, not 25. That class involved an internship at a homeless center. I did additional volunteer work there after my internship ended. I have been homeless for 5.5 years and I run at least two pertinent websites.

I took that class because I was pursuing a BS in Environmental Resource Management with a concentration in Housing. It was intended as preparation for a Masters in Urban Planning. I was studying in earnest to make a career of solving housing issues. I also have an Certificate in GIS, the equivalent of master's level work.

Contempt and condescension don't belong on Hacker News.
