I'm still alive

A banker of unverified (but probably good) repute had remarked that I should pick up financial derivatives as it would give me good employability.

This is a good sign, although my current readings of derivatives will not even qualify as a fleeting caress. The meaning of ‘pick up’ here is probably closer to ‘study masters in finance and specialise in.’

I’m still caressing the derivatives...
