To those of us in school, or going to school next month - what are studying?

This year, I'll be taking two Philosophy courses, and one Political Science course.

- The History and Philosophy of Science
- Introduction to the Theory of Knowledge

My minor is Philosophy, and Major is Political Science. Two more courses in the following summer, and I'm done University. Can't wait.

I so wish I could go to school next month. Sadly, I have no money to do so. I need a job.

This fall Semester I will being taking:
Chemistry
Lab
Microbiology for Health Proffesionals
Fittness For Life
And a 1 credit class jso i can be a "full-time" student.
This fall I'll be a Junior getting BA in Biomedical Engineering, I plan on going fpr my Doctorate.

I kinda want to go to school, but I have no strength or serious interest in one major area. I suppose my main strength is that I'm average at everything. A jack of all trades if you will.

The other thing is that even if I decide to pick a field, I'm not going to be able to stick with it for as long as I'd like (essentially kind of like ADD, but not really), since I kinda get bored doing the same thing for a long while.

And unfortunately, there aren't a whole lot of jobs for jack of all trades (JOAT) people like me :(

Been a working individual for five years already, and I can't say I miss school.

I guess you could become a handyman. :P

XD lol Hmm... Maybe I should make my own company and be a super handyman lol

Got a problem with your toilet and your computer? Don't call the plumber and send your computer to a tech, call the super handyman lol

The only problem I think I'd have is setting up all the business stuff up and all the self employed crap...

Yeah, I suppose I don't miss school either, I just hate that you have to have a degree just to keep your foot in most doors these days, well, minus the bad job market...

I personally wouldn't mind getting a few more documents behind my name, but finding the time and not to mention the money to squeeze that into my existing livelihood might prove challenging.

I would agree. Though I do have time, and I could find grants for college, I don't know if I just want to spend time getting random degrees to make myself look good.

It's that time of year again, isn't it. No school for me this year, too busy.

CaptainBrain, can you tell us anything about Biomedical Engineering? Any chance of it leading to the creation of Star Trek like medical technology?

13x31, being a Jack of All Trades is the gateway to specialization, I think. Of the areas you have experience in, do any of them particularity appeal to you? Or if none do... maybe branch out into even more areas. hehe.

Kyareshi, if you get even more documents behind your name... you'll make it even more impossible for me to win an argument against you. lol

Lol. The only document I have to my name besides a high school diploma is a one year course in computer science/software development. It sure as hell ain't the docs talkin' to ya, bru. :P
