Chris Barnes, Student?
I guess that in your terms, I am no longer a studen, as I finished my PhD in 1975. But, as I try to learn a major new area each year (language (e.g. Spanish or R), simulation or analytical package...), either formal (pay money) or informal, it hurts to classify myself as a non-student.
