Derek, I love your blog and book reviews. Don't usually come across such consistently high quality of content.
Agreed. I don't know who you are, but I've seen this blog four or five times in the last week and I've liked almost everything I read.
Whee.

You have hopes for your son to be hired by Apple? :) -m
hehe, no, I have hope that he's going to find his 'groove' in life, right now just about everything seems to be against him. Most of the stuff there applies word-for-word to him. I'm not hoping for him to get hired by anybody any time soon, but at least it seems there are alternative paths other than the regular ones.

I wish kids were taught this at a young age. I learned it at seventeen; two years later, I'm still struggling with a lot of the things I've needed to unlearn. I have friends my age who still don't believe this, who are forcing themselves on generic career paths because they don't think anything else is an option. I worry for them pretty often.
As for yourself keep an open mind, definitely not everything about 'regular' education is bad, but some people have a hard time adapting to the system and the system definitely won't adapt to them, if you are one of these then go ahead and carve your own path, I'm sure we'll be hearing great things about you one of these days.
I just read this and realized that maybe there is hope for my son after all, the first 10 paragraphs or so could be about him...

Well, the funny thing here is my own career path was not exactly textbook either, and still I worry about my son.
