Skills, skills everywhere

In our modern western world, most of us learn a lot of different things: at school, at university, during our job, our leisures, etc. Of course, we also forget a lot. But we still remember a lot of different skills at low level.

Just try to create yourself as character. It's hard to do it without taking less than 20-30 skills as soon as you aso take into account all your leisures (Chess, Role Playing Games, Wargames and Poker are also Skills in GURPS), all the things you regularly do at home (Cooking, Gardening, Housekeeping...), etc.

So, having a lot of Skills is normal as soon as you want to create a realistic character, one who is not like D&D characters: only focused on the skills and abilities which are absolutely necessary for his class.
