    I went back when I was 37... Now I have more degrees than I can use and am looking to start working on another one. I am a glutton for punishment, I guess.

    Not sure. I have a specialization in Ecology so working with wildlife isnt out of the picture. Currently I work at a Gavins Point National Fish Hatchery and that is something I really enjoy.

    I have always thought a biology degree is broad enough that I will find something I like for a solid dollar.

    Thats cool and yeah biology is pretty broad so i wouldnt think you would have a problem finding something but i could be wrong. I just have to get lucky and find a department im interested in and hope they are taking applications.

    Yes you can... If you can do one class you can do any class... as long as it doesn't require any math in my case. LOL

    Ah college days....one of the reasons I'm in the Army! I had a bit too much fun at UGA and decided the best course of action was to enlist. I do need to finish up my degree in Aeronautics before I retire though. Congrats on one semester down Oly!
