Family,Travel and life experience far out weigh missing 2-3 weeks of any robotic poorly funded treadmill that is intended to churn out corporate money motivated clones.
I would rather turn out a free happy young adult than a government trained obedient one ready to serve,obey,breed and die.

Good on this fella for being willing to take it all the way.

Have you been cloned from TS you sound just like him
