Er, no psychology, the most common major on college campuses? Tongue

Categories are based only on my expectations. Other than you and Xahar, I don't know of any posters who have mentioned studying psychology or its related fields.

Oh, I studied Psychology at the beginning, until I realized that it was basically a scam concocted by psychos or near psychos who needed to find a job.  And then I moved on to Poli Sci, that chaotic largely anecdotal field where quantitatively challenged folks play with numbers trying to pretend they got better than a "C" in algebra.  That lasted until I realized it was yet another scam, this time concocted by insensitive mono-dimensional megalomaniacs. And then after a detour into the Humanities (the less said about that the better), I found Economics, which rather hyperbolically calls itself a "science," but then it did muscle its way into its own category for the Nobel Prize so don't mess with it, or it may hurt you). Unlike with the first trio of clunkers, I really liked its act, in particular the one that most elegantly provided a moral justification as to why there are rich people and poor people, and that making money is good, and taxing it too much is bad. Eureka, this is the place said I to myself! Why did it take me so long?!  And then I found the law, the game there being to make it all so magnificently complex with tons of pretentious Latin and French (those damn Normans) words and phrases, the better to create barriers to entry to the masses, and increase the going hourly billing rate.  There I honed my skills as to how to make many folks poorer, and myself richer, all in accordance with that glorious invisible hand (except of course to the cognoscenti of whom I was now one, per my above referenced penultimate field of study, for whom the hand was not only visible, but fisted). My current field of study is not appropriate to discuss here. I think that about sums it up.

My BA was in Modern & Contemporary History.

How is that defined?  Isn't the term "contemporary history" rather oxymoronic?  Tongue

Modern history means modern modules. How helpful!  Thanks for the that nice quote however, from some dude I never heard of. That makes up for your doing like so many do when I depose them - the last thing the deponent wants to do is answer the question, and reveal anything that might be pertinent or useful.  Tongue
