Question for college grads

[Smelodies]

The only class I took in the hard sciences was Intro to Astronomy.

If I had the time and money, I think I'd go back and take a physics or cosmology course.

Would you ever take a course again, and, if so, which?

If I had the money(rich parents) I'd go back to school completely and get a degree in something that leads to a well-paying fruitful career that makes me happy. I graduated with an English degree and I feel stuck in my government job.

I'd take more classes at the school of hard knocks.

Seriously, I majored in business and every class I took has been useful in my career in business.  I loved my electives and they made me a better rounded and more erudite person, but I can't say I've used them for anything much.

My friends who were English majors nearly to a person wish they'd chosen something else, which goes in the sad, but whaddayagonnado file.

I was an English major and here at law school, I find all the book readin' and writin' I did come quite in handy.

I really dislike the glee with which people single out English majors and the uselessness of their degrees.

Not that you were necessarily talking to me, but I take no glee in it.  In fact, I take glee when I hear from an English major who has put their degree to good use.  I was just speaking purely from my own pool of friends and neighbors.

I guess I get my hackles up rather quickly about this subject because it hits so close to home. No doubt I had many years of wondering if I was going to be able to do anything.

Don't worry, there are plenty of unemployed lawyers.

Oh I know that as well.

[Steve of Bloomington]

I studied pure Math, so I really shouldn't be employed at all. I don't really regret it, because it was pretty awesome and I ended up convincing people to hire me to work for them anyway.

All that said, were I to go back to school I'd go someplace like the ITP program at NYU. Science and Art. Art and Science. Games. Robots. I look at the course list and just drool. http://itp.nyu.edu/sigs/program/

I wish I'd taken more fencing classes.

Me too.  A class would have helped because, sadly, I do not possess the skills needed to build fences.

[Sarah]

In that case, en garde, mon frère!

[fish]

Huh...?  I guess I should have taken some German classes too.

[dave from knoxville]

Now that I have wasted my life teaching, I wish I had pursued that double major in philosophy.

[Wes]

I employ almost none of what I learned during my extensive fencing training in the swordfights I find myself in these days, but I am firmly in the camp that says you should learn the rules before ignoring them.
