Do overs

Back home after the last class and the final exam. I surprised the instructor with autographed copies of my books, and let him know how much I enjoyed the class. When last seen, he was reading DEVLIN'S LUCK while the rest of the students finished up their exams.

In the past few days I've been thinking about what other courses I'd like to take. My degrees are in Computer Science and Management of Information Technology. But given sufficient time and money, if I were to go back to school now, I'd study something completely different.

As a second career I'd probably go for a degree in Library Sciences, specializing in computer-based research. For pure fun, I'd study forensic science, or perhaps languages or history.

What about you? If you could study anything you wanted, what classes would you take?

I would finally take an art class or ten, maybe get an MFA. I'd love to learn a little more Comp Sci. I'm very jealous of you and your forensics classes, so that's up there too. Oh, and since I was thisclose to getting a Psych minor, I might as well pick up one of those...

and I guess I could finally get around to signing up/paying for the masters biology program that I've sort of started. I don't want to have just a bachelors forever. All is moot until I find some more money, though.

I was so deeply in debt after my bachelor's that I could never have afforded a master's if my company hadn't paid for it.

I lucked into grant money. It turns out that most people who specialize in getting people with disabilities matched up with jobs and training are not, themselves, disabled. Who knew? Other than disabled people, that is.

Turns out, the government knew, too, and the solution was to pay tuition for smart disabled people to go to grad school in that particular discipline (Rehabilitation Counseling.) Otherwise, no go.
