One Explanation for Why I Am Not Rich

When I was a first year undergrad I took a course in a new discipline called "Computing Science."  Due to some bonus marks I ended up with a final grade of 104%.  I was subsequently approached and lobbied pretty hard to major in this "Computing Science."

I thought it over and decided that these computers were really just glorified adding machines albeit useful for tricky statistical analysis.  But that that was about it.  I concluded that, attractive as the offer was, there would be little future for me in computers.

So I went to Cambridge to study the history of ancient Chinese thought instead.

Observation: I am the same age as Bill Gates and am still making mortgage payments.
