Suggested grading:
Not very experienced - belong to them all, and waste most of my
waking hours on them.
Experienced - belong to them all, but don't waste time being
actively involved, only money
Very Experienced - quit them all, and am now extremely productive
because of all the time I save.

"Prodigy is, in its essence, adaptability and persistent,
positive obsession.
Without persistence, what remains is an enthusiasm of the moment.
Without
adaptability, what remains may be channeled into destructive
fanaticism.
Without positive obsession, there is nothing at all."
- Octavia E. Butler, "Parable of the Talents"
