Charles Murray Quotes

A Common And Depressing Assumption On The Part Of Many College Students Is That They Must Stay On The Academic Rails Until They Are Professionally Established - Go Directly To Grad School From College And Directly From Grad School To A Job, As If There Were Some Big Rush And Even A Few Years Lost Would Put Them Catastrophically Behind Everyone Else. Nonsense. Suppose You Intend To Retire At Sixty-five. If You Don't Start Your Career Until You're Thirty, That Still Gives You Thirty-five Years To Make It Professionally. If You Can't Make It In Thirty-five Years, You Weren't Going To Make It In Forty Or Forty-five.
