Why on earth would schools be gone in just 5 years??

Could be a valid question very long term but I can still smell farts from 5 years ago!

I don’t think your average five year old is going to be seeking a portfolio career. What a silly question.

LOL, YABU. Of course schools will still exist in 5 years!
