volsung Short version? Because of money. With a degree in humanities I only have a 20% chance of getting employed as a college teacher, and outside of teaching humanities has no marketability. To be a college teacher would have to go to school for 6 years, which means I would accrue even more debt. Also, as I said earlier, I am already 23 and it is a little late in my life to be starting school.
Trying to become a highschool teacher would be bad for different reasons. For one, my degree would be in education, not in humanities. And there are countless other reasons why I don't want to be a highschool teacher that are too numerous to mention. Undisciplined students, bitchy parents, workplace politics, and more.
Gilrond-i-Virdan Just my local university, unless I get a better opportunity elsewhere. My local university just so happens to host the world's largest annual medieval studies conference, so I might pick up a minor in medieval history if I went there. I checked with my brother, who is attending one of the best computer science schools in the country, and he said my local university's computer science program should be fine.

btw, for anyone who doesn't know. In American higher education, you get 60 credits in a major, 30 credits in a minor, and 30 credits in elective courses. Each class is worth 3 - 4 credits depending on the course. I don't know if things are different in Europe, so I figured I'd mention it.
Well...maybe there's sth in it. Today I really had a feeling that few sips of vodka would help me not to go crazy until the working will be over.
