There is nothing wrong with your brain. I would argue, and I believe a lot of people would back me up on this, that you're ahead of the curve.

What the school system did was wrong. They violated their oath as educators and they are the ones who should be put in prison for it. They could have used you as an asset and given you a really good career in a world that more than anything, needs intelligent people who understand computer networks.

Instead however, that administrator decided to ruin your life out of some silly 'tough on crime', 'no tolerance' bullshit policy.

He should have been put in prison or better yet, shot in the face for ruining yet another child because of political bureaucracy.

From the bottom of my heart OP I really wish I could give you a career. I wish I was in a position to give you something because I know that the world is a fucked up place.

I often think about how many lives are ruined on a daily basis because of shit like this and it boggles my mind that we allow our own children to be thrown in prison because the adults don't quite understand how the world functions.

They are stuck in the past and need to die off because of it. We, speaking as a 27-year-old man, need to take over and remove the old codgers from the world. All of them. We are smarter then them and need to take our dominant place in the world's figurative food chain.

But I digress...I wish I was in a position to give you a job OP or at the very best vet you for something like that.

I want to believe that a lot of criminals are actually good at something and are not just a waste of skin. I want to believe that by giving them a chance and allowing them to excel at something they are good and passionate about that they can become a contribution to society.

However that will never happen as our country is run by those with more money imaginable. Those who put people in prison for profit and those who dominate over the meek because they have more zeros attached to their name.

I can only hope that one day the balance of power changes and the meek and low rise up above the oppressors to change the world for better.

Edit: Thank you to whoever gave me gold!

I don't deserve it in the least, but I think we as a country need to stand up and fix the problems that exist within our society. There are a lot of them and nothing can be solved by one magic, silver bullet. One issue at a time is how we need to approach these things and we need to do it sooner rather than later.

It all starts with you. Take action, do something and get involved!

You tried. You rolled a natural 1, but you tried.

Yours, theirs and HR's

I used to be a photographer in the local TV news business and I can confirm this.

It's pretty shitty knowing that your lives mean nothing more than a few likes or ad dollars to the corporations running these stations. You're replaceable by the next wanna-be Anderson Cooper.

A really dark secret of the business is what kind of devastation it has on people's personal lives. From my experience and hearing stories from various folks throughout the years: the drug and alcohol abuse is rampant and the divorce rate for those employed in the TV business is astronomically high.

TV staff are a different breed. I wanted more from life than being a leech on society so I left about two years ago. I've looked back at times, but then I realized how horrible my life was when I was employed in the industry.

That answer got my journalist side all hot and bothered. Mmm...truth.
