on being 31

My HT supervisor is 31 years old

Has a first class honors math degree
Masters in pure mathematics, pass with distinction, his dissertation was on group theory...(yar i know grasp)
PHD in mathematics

Based in Caltech, it's hard for Asians to find a place in a ang mor university....
Has worked with world-class mathematicians...well least those people has articles on Wikipedia
Published many, gave many talks...
Works on combinatorics, algebra, graph theory...just a single one is enough to kill

My brother is 29, and his time is spend on renovating his house, wedding preps, passing ippt after failing numerous times, praying for stocks to bounce back

When i'm 31?
teaching some NT boys in some secondary school? marking scripts and attending meetings?
