Do you think I have a prayer?
I think it depends on what you want to do with your life. The ability to pat your head and rub your stomach at the same time (much like chewing gum and walking at the same time)are skills that lend themselves to occupations that require a precise mind -- such as dentistry or medicine.
The ability to BS and obfuscate lends itself to professions that require a conniving mind -- law, politics, NEA official.
