'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
My friend's husband got his engineering degree, worked as a structural engineer for maybe a year before chucking it and working in film. (He was making films all along.) I'm pretty sure he only finished the degree for his parents.
In other news, 22 hunks of PBS. [link]
(Attn to Jesse on their #1.)
Any hunk list that places Jason Isaacs as low as 14 is just wrong (or at least has never seen Peter Pan.)
I have a lot of issues with that list! But seriously:
Feel with 100% certainty that if Sergeant Hathaway were real, I would be married to him.

Well they never even mentioned his frequent shirtlessness in Case Histories (which was the only thing that kept it from being completely grim), so she has some issues with priorities.
Juliebird, I'm sorry things are going in a weird direction at work. It doesn't seem unreasonable to me that a director of horticulture would have some interest in, say, horticulture.
I started in Bio but switched to English. As I was planning to teach, and it was the 80s, they were equally practical.
Seriously, I was all "Engineering isn't practical???"
In my family, the cautionary tale regarding choosing your major was about how everyone in college with my parents majored in Engineering because that was where the jobs were supposed to be - my folks were both Chemistry majors and a lot of the coursework overlapped. By the time this huge flood of newly-minted engineers graduated, there were engineering jobs, but not nearly as many as there were newly-minted engineers.
Results - my older brother majored in Psychology which I don't think he has ever used. I majored in Math and my not really using it is probably not the subject's fault, it was more that in the process of getting the degree I discovered that I didn't really want to do that. My sister majored in, hm, Contemplative Movement? Something like that. And she kind of uses it, whatever it was called.
Contemplative Movement? Pardon my releasing my inner 12-year-old but that sounds like deep thoughts while taking a shit.
That may have been part of the curriculum!
I found a site that may be of use to all of you.

But I'm giving a speech soon, so its sister site: Words to Minutes was a godsend!
Then there are the fun statistical outliers when it comes to education. I have a BA in Theatre and an MFA in Theatre Sound Design. Despite the fact that neither of those should lead to anything very lucrative, I've successfully built a career and not only support myself but keep a bunch of employees busy. While a degree is not a requirement for anything I've done, I won't have been able to end up where I'm at without do the degrees the way I did.
