I'm over 7000 years old. I went to engineering school 6000 years ago. I was 1000 years old at the time. Sure, there were stares. But what I lacked in youth, I made up for in experience. And we're talking over 5000 BC, which is over 6000 BD (Before Digital), which believe you me changed everything almost as much as "C." Although no one ever went to war over "D" like they did over "C". Well, come to think of it, maybe they did.

Consoles?

Stonehenge, my friend, was an early attempt at summing.

Interns?

Entire cultures were enslaved and required to build huge pyramids and drill out the center of mountains just to make a single recording. Sure it sounded wonderful, but would I trade in my handy DAW just for the extra bit of warmth that comes with conquering entire cultures and building collosal structures? When I was 4000, perhaps. Now, with better gain staging, higher bit rates, and the apathy that comes with age, I’m not so sure. But I digress.

The point is, you're never to old to go to school and feel like an idiot. Only from such humiliation comes personal growth, with free access to college gyms and parties as a perennial perk.
