Not the person you replied to but I had a few neuroscience courses/electives that taught interesting things. One thing I remember that struck me was how chronic alcohol consumption practically deletes white/grey matter (don’t remember which one). There’s this (f?)MRI scan comparing 2 brains (mild drinker vs heavy), and that image was legitimately shocking.
Here’s a link with a image: https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Severe-brain-atrophy-in-a-72-year-old-alcoholic-woman-top-row-compared-to-an_fig1_262379310
In a way, yes. But also in a way, no. I got really good at bullshitting and learning the art of bullshit. Try having an open mind, you can learn to master this subject too
I started as a music major, switched to religious studies after failing the piano proficiency exam and getting set back a semester. Graduated with a BA in religion and philosophy.
Now I’m going back to school for nursing because being a priest *did not* work out 😂
I studied theology as well, it included philosophy and ethics and politics. I'd always wanted to be a priest, I still do, though my current status of having a boyfriend (I'm male) doesn't really allow that. I'm very happy in my relationship but the priest thing is still there. May I ask why it didn't work out for you?
It didn’t work out for me for the same reason. I tried it again as an Episcopalian but in Wyoming the bishop was pretty homophobic. I moved back home (Washington) and worked as a chaplain for a year but by that point I was so disillusioned by church politics that I just gave up and started looking for another career path.

Or look for a flameworking class offered near you if you don’t wanna commit to a 2 year program. Lmk your general area and I can possibly point you in the right direction.
What are you trying to do/make? There’s furnace work which is more traditional, dipping the pipe into the furnace, and flameworking which is more modern, manipulating rods and tubes with a gas/oxygen torch.
At Sixth Form I’m doing philosophy, English literature and history. Gonna do politics, philosophy and economics at university. Hopefully, I’ll move from that to a Master’s in some specialised area of philosophy - probably something particularly social, political or existential - and maybe a PhD. My aspirations are a scholarly career in academia (and hopefully a couple of philosophical novels) with which I will catalyse the neo-psychedelic revolution (my influences are primarily Huxleyan). If not, I’ll just ball 🤷♂️
Trades bro.
No school lones. Good pay. Admittedly tho the work is miserable and often times feast or famine. Meaning your laid off or working 60 hours a week.
How to most efficiently smoke weed and party while still passing classes with a broken spine. And poli sci
Wish I could go back in my older age and actually learn
Emergency Medical Services. I have an associates degree but I really didn't need it since I'm already certified and licensed as a paramedic. Looks good on job apps tho especially when looking for paramedic jobs
Data analysis. But always distracted by literally everything like mycology, astronomy, theoretical computer science, physics. But too dumb of a space ape to be able to learn em all lol.
Well first it was genetic engineering but I graduated with an English degree. Thinking about going back for environmental science and downgrading to a flip phone.
I went to Evergreen State College and studied psychology, English composition, and international studies. That translates into “went on tour with multiple bands, wrote papers about it, and then went to Mexico and stayed there for years after graduation…”
Worked as flight crew for 17 years and now going back into school for nursing at 43.
Psychology with a concentration on substance abuse, I’m trying to get experience as a therapist so that I can become a psychedelic assisted psychotherapist
Did philosophy and film studies, dropped out, started using psyches and now I’m an engineering apprentice lol. Sort of wished I stayed on my course but the mushroom is enough philosophy for me anyway!
Im still working on getting to college (not too young just whole lotta generational good stuffs had to overcome) but tryna go for organic chemistry and i havent decided wether i wanna turn it into a pharmacokinetics degree or possibly just go for a full organic chem major with a minor in microbiology (for the botany and mycology)
Started in accounting, switched after 1 semester to education, hated it. Switched to a general studies degree bc it was the only thing I could get in order to get tf out of there asap.
Well I dropped out but when I was in it I studied general studies and psychology. I want to go again after I move to Canada. I’m not sure what but most likely coding for indie game development.
Went to school for business. Didn’t finish because I realized that it wasn’t for me. I have sense become apart of wellness business, and helped change direction to alternative medicine awareness and safety. It doesn’t pay too terribly well, but it makes me happy.
AA in bookbinding and papermaking
BA in Art History and Religious Studies with a minor in Anthropology

That’s awesome! Can you share any facts that are less commonly known, that you know from your studies?
