(((((Muffy))))) You’ve brought up another outstanding point! A person’s job does not define their worth. I know that gifted in this thread applies to those academically gifted individuals, but there’s so much more involved.

And let us not forget that even those special needs kids have skills that are amazing. My eldest was able to hide from us that he was unable to read for several years. When I’d read him a book, he’d intently look at the page and when it was his turn to “read” he’d recite from memory the book word for word, do you have a memory like that? I don't.
