90+% of Stanford footballers are never going to even sniff the NFL.Â The "40-year" question breaks down to:

"Do you really want to run a Lexus dealership in Akron/Mobile/Pasadena/etc. or do you want to spend the rest of your life trying to help change (even a tiny toty part of) the world?"

All models are wrong; some models are useful......
