It does have its uses. Like, I'm glad I went through some of it, because otherwise I'd have no experience filling out paperwork. Which is a thing I end up doing way more often than I would have expected. And it's how most people pick up whatever their trade is going to be around here. I mean, there's not much use for it if you've got one of those high action lifestyles, but it does always pay to be educated.
You should take a look at the organizations here, SHIELD and the Avengers in particular. It's kind of what they're all about, that and people with above average abilities and skillsets. SHIELD can be a little tricky working with sometimes, from what I hear, but the Avengers are good people. The magicians I mentioned? They work with 'em. I do too. Billy's actually on my team.
