I went to university and did a PhD . Every time I published something in a decent conference , I ' d get travel and all expenses paid for me . That , along with doing a few international internships . By the time I was 24 , I ' d seen more of the world than most people will see in their lifetimes . I feel privileged for these opportunities , though a lot of hard work went in along the way . <| sep |> Hmm . I must be getting the news too late , no stock for me <| sep |> This is not a good move for me . Starts fine . But then the wiener begins oscillating . The swings get wider and wider until eventually I ' m pissing circles around the toilet . <| sep |> If I had a nickel everytime a news article came out about how millennials are poor . Well shit maybe I wouldn ' t be so damn poor .
