I have only one thing to say that is missing from your post oswank,
that is, "but do I say"

How you managed to turn this whole forum into a platform to blow your own horn beats me .

Anyway, your know fully well that scholarships/fellowships do not "rain down on you torrentially". YOU MUST APPLY. Unless ofcourse you are attending some seedy school where you were rewarded simply because you could read. Speaking of which, why don't you tell us which schools you attended and which course you were persuing.If it is not a professional course, don't even bother to reply!!! And on the same note, tell us what all this education has done for you. From your posts, its effects are not obvious at all!!!
