re: #49 iossarian

Just out of interest, what field is your Ph.D. in?

(I have a Ph.D. in theoretical computer science, which is really useful for getting rid of people at parties.)

Hahaha, mine is in geology. Which inevitably leads to the question about rocks or a statement that I could get a job in the oil industry. Which inevitably leads to trying to explain no, not that kind of geologist. (I studied silicate melts, AKA glass.)

The current plan is actually go to back to school to get enough computer science so I can play at software development. I decided I don’t like research.
