My ophthalmologist was telling me that his son was enrolled in a very prestigious and expensive acting school. For a successful ophthalmologist, that is a bit confusing
I allowed that was probably a good career strategy as demand for the professions of the last 50 years is shrinking as more of the work is being done by computers.

Better wands make exceptional results possible.

Creative thinkers, we need you!
