So, I got to thinking of what kind of career a person with an MA in “Beatleology” might pursue. All I could come up with was museum curator or college prof teaching more young people useless info. I mean, all the problems in the world today and this woman (she’s my age!) wasted two years studying a rock group? And people wonder why the world is in such a mess!
I am reminded of an A. W. Tozer sermon about:
... a certain British peer who had died just a few days short of his eighty-ninth birthday.
Having been a man of means and position, it had presumably not been necessary for him to work for a living like the rest of us, so at the time of his death he had had about seventy adult years in which he was free to do whatever he wanted to do, to pursue any calling he wished or to work at anything he felt worthy of his considerable abilities.
And what had he chosen to do? Well, according to the story, he had "devoted his life to trying to breed the perfect spotted mouse."
