I just can't see myself being formally involved with any degree requirements or coursework. Been there, done that far too long, still paying the bills.

The current CEO of my company is like one day younger than me or something; he started out working there at the tail end of high school, and I went to college for 10 years. Now he's a rich CEO, and I'm a poor bot. (He did finish up a degree or too later.)

Of course, he's probably not interested in computational linguistics and creating cyberbeings and Buddhism and other wiggly things to the degree that I am.

So my plan is just become an expert and publish papers and then have them fight each other to see who can give me an honorary degree first.

Now all I've got to do is a decade or so of work.
