Q: If you could go back to school, what would you study?
A: Well, if I went to university for my career, to get the obligatory Piece of Paper to back-up what I already know, I would major in Computer Science (emphasis on web app development), and likely minor in graphic design or something similar. If the school offered an actual degree program in Web Design, that'd be great, but I haven't seen that program offered at many schools. This could happen at some point, we'll see how things go.
If I went to university purely to study something I was interested in, which I would totally do if it were possible, I'd dual-major in Forestry and Geology. Both are fields that I have very strong interests in, and while it's unlikely I'd ever be able to build a career based on those interests, I'd love to study them in-depth in a college/university setting.
==============
This random thought brought to you by a number of friends who are pursuing/planning to pursue their academic dreams, combined with watching Dante's Peak and wishing the latter dream-degree opened up career opportunities other than forest ranger, tree-slaughterer (aka working for the logging industry), and lab rat.
I'll have a real post about my weekend later, my brain's kinda on cruise control at the moment.
