Ornythology. I am into fit birds.

Some kind of space related thing, satellites, that kind of stuff.

[EternalOptimist]

Cosmology, definately.

and I would buy a telescope

[TykeMerc]

Geology as it's been a pet interest of mine for many years and of course it covers fossils, volcanos and long term climate shifts.

Mooching round the planet figuring out how it all works and what's happened over the umpteen millions of years that it's been around is fascinating.

[Pogle]

Paleontology - I find it all fascinating

[DiscoStu]

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

[HairyArsedBloke]

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...

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.

[ratewhore]

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

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

[Francko]

out of interest, why not Francko?

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?

There are quite a lot of interesting subjects to choose.

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?

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

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.
