> How do I "feel" about being RPT?

> Like I jumped through the proper hoops.    When I finished my course
> work for my music masters, I spent six hours a day for a summer preparing
> for comprehensive exams.  We were told we were to be tested on the "field
> of music".  The more our little group studied. with a tutor, the more we
> realized how ludicrous that was.  We became more and more convinced we
> knew nothing.  However we did the studying, took the tests, "jumped
> through the hoops", and got our degrees.

> Recently I was chatting with another tech who has a graduate degree in
> cello, about  what that experience meant.  "In graduate school, I learned
> to ask the Questions."     RPT doesn't convince me I have answers, only
> that it is possible to learn which questions to ask.  If the questions
> are asked well, then the answers can usually be found embedded in the
> questions themselves.  Once I have the "answer", it becomes so natural to
> stop asking the Questions-  and that, to me would be a sad day, indeed.
