Of course, everytime I start thinkin' about goin' back to school, I think of the classes I've already had and how I can use them to get a degree in something with better pay.
But, would anybody be shocked to find that what I'd *really* like to do is shift gears and get a degree in Botany? :-)
Not really....but then there's all that taxonomy stuff you have to learn. :)
Do what you love, WN. If you're going to make that sort of committment, to years more education, you should do what you want to do.
My little sisters are both studying history, and in some ways I envy them. But I also love computers, and I have more options than they do. I can envision having seven different careers, with my options. If I had studied history, I'd have been stuck teaching, and I don't want that. At least not forever.
Anyway, I say, go for Botany. It's very you!
