Going back to skool?

I saw an interesting course in workplace psychology.. would probably feel inclined to add that to my CV at some point.

Interestingly enough you can get on doing it without an actual background in psychology..

*Just a pity I don't live near Worcester.. but I'm sure there will be similar geographically.. ideally distance learning.

I would study dramatics. The ones at uni seemed very chilled : little coursework and sh4g lots of women.

I was talking with the Doc earlier this week about working and was told not to over-do it etc. He asked what I would do as an alternative if things went wrong since all my clients are financial.

We got talking about going back to education. Not as a teacher but to study. I fancy doing a PhD, but exactly sure in what; math, economics, trading or something I suppose.

Question is: What would the members of the congregation study if they went back to skool?

There are quite a lot of interesting subjects to choose.

The only thing I am sure I know is what I would NEVER study again.... that is I.T./Computer Science. NEVER... EVER.... and would not recommend to anyone either...

Because of the sector. There is no more money in I.T. since 2000ish. It has become a very boring sector with nothing innovative to work on and it's open to everybody with any backgroung so a degree in IT is wasted. The best bet is to get a comfy mid manager position where you don't have to do any work apart from appearing smart and be a dumb and boring intellect like sasguru so that you are not tempted to commit suicide thinking about what you do for a living... no, it's not all rosy, isn't it?

I would do international relations, politics, security - that sort of thing.

In fact, I was looking at precisely that today...

I agree. I have advised youngsters against it for a number of years too.

I'm almost begining to believe in media studies so that they can become TV critics, record producers, etc.

There is frack all chance of getting a job doing anything constuctive these days.

I'd do something in information security. It's a growth area - boomed

Paleontology - I find it all fascinating
