            Isn't obvious - you are over qualified. You should forget some things.
            How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

                Most definitely.
                Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

                  I don't understand why it still seems to matter in the real world because most of us value age and experience but with that lot in your past I suspect that the best thing you could do would be to get a bit younger.
