Of course, but I never said that. One thing I don't like about all of this is the treatment of college students as anything but grown men and women trying to get an education. There is a strong contingent, if not a majority, that wants to treat college-aged adults as if they're still children (note alcohol and gun laws). This and its consequences are the main reasons that I left college.

Immediately following high school, I began work as a web designer/front-end developer. After over a year of that and taking night classes, I transferred to a good university in my state. I'd had enough after a semester, and more than enough after two, so I went back to front-end development.
