I'm probably going to end up at William Paterson (where my dad teaches) because it's more or less free and strings can be pulled to get me in, so to speak. I need a little help since my education record, despite ultimately being very good, is, well, interesting.
I'm thinking...physics? The benefit of not going to real school until you're 25 (...26...) is that you get to see how the rest of your friends fucked up. So, basically, everyone I know that has a degree in the arts (basically, everyone I know) either is unemployed, underemployed, or doing something that has nothing to do with their degree. The only people I've seen that use their degrees are basically accountants and science folk. In other words, practical stuff.
But anyway, sounds kind of funny, but I've been watching a lot of space programs and stuff...I find it fascinating. Oddly enough, I remember doing the "what you want to be when you grow up" drawing in kindergarten, and I remember I drew a scientist because I wanted to study space. So I feel like physics as an undergraduate is a good in-road to that sort of thing. It also helps that I have the intelligence for it.
