Oh please, don't even go there Quantus.

Thank you kindly. I know, but it is a bit of a past time to mock liberal arts majors.... at least the ones who you are close enough to that they know it is just a joke.

I'm 3 semesters from a music degree, and I can never stop myself from mocking liberal arts majors.  Nor can my sister, with a double bachelors in studio art and art history.*

Especially now that I'm a chemistry major.

*"So what do you do with that?" she gets asked.
"Be the cute artsy girl at a coffee shop, and segue that into marrying a good looking air force boy" she responds.

I have finally, at the age of 30, started a fire under my ass and began studying part-time. I've finished my first module and a small side course that's necessary for my next module, everything looking good so far, have yet to drop under 85%. I'm on my way to becoming one of the worlds most boring people: An Accountant!

Hey, it's all good.  I'm going back at 28.  I know a very fine violinist who went back at 39 to finish his bachelors, now has a DMA and is a professor.  Another guy who decided to collect music degrees as his retirement activity.  Who cares?  Just do something fulfilling while you're in school.

If my parents had any influence, I'd be an accounting major as well.

I know right. I swear we need sarcasm font.

Another forum I read uses green text for sarcasm.

Just found out that all the training I'm going to do is like 66 college credits, and it's all electronics and stuff, so I could get a degree in computers. I've just gotta do my english and the training, and I'll be pretty much done.

I have a degree in fisheries biology and work with the Alaska seafood industry.  If I'm ever able to retire I hope to study at an Islamic seminary and become an Hujjatul-Islam (lowest level of Shi'a Muslim cleric).  First choice for this would be the seminary in Qom, Iran, but will probably do preliminary studies in the States.

Let's see ... Bachelor's in the Science of Management

But my real education ... Husband.  NEVER stop learning.
At times I wish I had a clone, but then I realize, I could never live with that a-hole.

He's pretty smart, isn't he?   :)

I'm not sure if I ever put my edumacational enlearnenment here or not.  I have a B.S. in education with a focus on Health and Family Life.
