<title>Re:College and You: What are you studying?</title>
<description>&lt;p&gt;Well, most folk know by now that I&amp;#39;ll be doing a Football(Soccer) Scholarship over&amp;nbsp;in America for a maximum of four years. So, becoming a Professional Footballer is the ultimate goal. With that said, I will still be studying academically at whatever uni I decide to go to. I&amp;#39;m hoping to study in Creative Writing also, however, the thought of doing some graphic design has crossed my mind. Whatever scholarship offer&amp;nbsp;I take up, it looks unlikely to be one offered&amp;nbsp;this year due to lack of funds.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In between this and next summer I&amp;#39;ll most likely be doing a one year course at college called Football Performance, which involves 4 days a week of training and lectures from current managers and ex-pros. Seemed to me like a good gap filler.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And if all that goes t1ts up? I&amp;#39;ll get into coaching of some kind.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;SS Ed is a decent career path since you can get any SS job at a school and if you&amp;#39;re not satisfied there, you can move on to do a masters in any of the fields under the umbrella (including Economics and Psychology, which are fairly valuable)&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m going into my third year for my BA in English Education, myself. Aww yeah, Shakespearean Drama.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

<description>&lt;p&gt;Just finishing my third year of physics at UCSB. Not fun at all.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Took general relativity, cosmology, and classical mechanics II this quarter, along with late modern philosophy. Was also taking observational astrophysics but had to drop it.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m more interested in engineering but I thought the physics degree would be more marketable. Hopefully this summer I&amp;#39;ll be continuing work in robotics and AI development though.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

It sounds like a degree which would very much suit your personality, if I may say so. Which is an immeasurable positive since I feel there is no greater job, vocation or pass - time in the world than doing that which we love.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As for myself; after having completed a 1st Year of Biochemistry and Pharmacology with a specialisation in Virology... I decided that there was far too much Mathematics and Chemistry and not enough study of the Biological systems which I so loved. Also; that I could not envisage enjoying a career in science.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;... which is when I discovered that the thing which I spent the majority of my free time investigating, researching and interacting with was actually taught at quite a few institutions under the name of Sociology.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A degree in it means I get paid for RPing and playing MxO IRL :3&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Of this, I have just finished my 1st Year at a University here in Scotland, with which I am in love and about to spend the Summer working in my second home of Simcoe in Canada.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This year&amp;#39;s subjects consisted of:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Sociology. (Major. Personal&amp;nbsp;focus on: &quot;The definition of Sociology and limits to Sociological thinking&quot; and &quot;Contemporary Media and the Inherent Biases Thereof&quot;.)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;International Relations. (Minor. Personal focus on: &quot;The theory and &amp;#39;Real World&amp;#39; applications of the &amp;#39;Balance of Power&amp;#39;&quot; and &quot;International Monetary Fund and the World Bank.&quot;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;(Transferred from Economics to) Anthropology. (Minor. Personal focus on: &quot;Captain Cook and the interpretation of &amp;#39;First Contact&amp;#39; situations.&quot; &quot;Agreeability of the &amp;#39;Original Affluent Society&amp;#39; theory as put forward by Marshal Sahlins&quot;.)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;Although the standard degree of Sociology is not always considered as representative of personal capability or achievement in itself, I am hoping to take the basic Masters degree to Post - Graduate level and then onto either research or internship.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
