I spent 20 years and wrote thousands of pages learning the trivial craft of putting sentences together. My parents blew tens of thousands of 1980s dollars on tuition at a prestigious institution to train me for this job. They also put my sister the pulmonologist through medical school, and as far as I know nobody ever asks her to perform a quick lobectomy -- doesn't have to be anything fancy, maybe just in her spare time, whatever she can do would be great -- because it'll help get her name out there.
