Strangely, even after publishing books in my field, people <i>still</i> ask me if I&#x27;m ever going back to finish my degree.<p>Stranger still, the US government gave me a genius visa (O-1) despite my not having graduated.<p>I think it&#x27;s one of those &quot;If I had to do it, you have to do it&quot; type situations. Or people are just curious and wonder if I&#x27;m ever going back to school. It&#x27;s hard to tell sometimes.
