The only notable difference that I see might be the greater intellectual freedom considering how cheap is it to do mathematics (and there are no worries about animal testing or handling of deadly chemicals and viruses), which permits to say more vague things in grant proposals and to include work in progress in them as "future research goals." That's very true! All you need for maths really is a brain, paper and a pencil. I'm taking a degree in linguistics and most of the research I have to read (and will eventually be carrying out) involves listening to different people saying the same word and asking why they don't all say it the same haha (I'm joking, I love it) It sounds quite interesting in fact, and I read interesting research the other about the links between mathematics and language; apparently, the verbal zones of the brain do not play a big role in mathematical reasoning, which confirms my daily experience that it is not-disturbing to listen to music in any language when I am doing mathematics. |
Working with numbers all day and your brain constantly under stress like a computer? That sounds like torture tbh. |

Bloomberry said: Working with numbers all day and your brain constantly under stress like a computer? That sounds like torture tbh. Rather than numbers, you think of proofs that may not involve numbers in any significant way. This is both stressful and amusing (depending on how close your deadlines are), and certainly very different from how a computer processes. There is probably as much or even more suffering in most other creative activities, and the pleasure one has to daydream about theories and proofs should not be underestimated. |

That's really interesting. I didn't read the whole document but the diagrams spoke volumes (excuse the pun hehe). I was never interested in psychology but the lack of connection between language and mathematics in terms of brainpower is something that surprises me. It makes sense I suppose. Like you say, hearing spoken word whilst doing mathematics wouldn't be off-putting if you're using another part of the brain. |

| My dream job for a long time was to be a vertebrate paleontologist as I loved Dinosaurs since being taught it in School. My education though has been very uh... interrupted at times (don't really want to get into too much) but at times I was self-taught, and I tried self-teaching myself Dinosaurs. After a while I thought I'd try the Open University as they had a Palaeontology short course, but I was underage to join, so they had to seriously consider me. Eventually they allowed me to join them, and I did the Palaeontology course...and I passed it by quite a ways. I thought about going to university but other stuff happend, and also Paleontology isn't a course taught here all the time, and it was wasn't when I was looking. Although ironically last year I saw there's actually several Palaeontology courses in many different universities, but with how the (UK) universities handled the covid situation so disastrously, I'm glad I didn't take it up, as it probably would be no different from my OU course all those years ago. Short answer, yes if I was educated in it more |

| in the spring of 2004 during my second to last year of high school, i suddenly wanted to become a journalist for basketball minor leagues after the most famous writer of the zone came visiting my class and he knew a lot of stuff about the senior squad of the society i was playing in back then and started following as a supporter with a new firm created by myself in those exact months to root for the team. I began buying the local newspaper with his articles and discovered with joy that those leagues were covered 4 days out of 7 every week, something unbelievable for such a level of non professional players. Plus, i was told that university wasn't required to get a job. Sadly, after my graduation of the following year, the coverage of these minor leagues become smaller and smaller with every passing year and already at the end of 2005 after visiting the newspapers headquarters building and two unsuccessful phone calls to the journalist, i gave up. On the bright side, i later found jobs both good on its own and that also didn't forbid me to still follow my team and these minor leagues |

| i really hate the phrase "dream job" lmao. as miserable and boring as jobs are, why would anyone dream of having one regardless of what it is smh. |
| a translator, seems really possible wanted to be a teacher but mehh |
| i would love to be a streamer, but it isn't really a reliable source of income until you become big-ish and i also don't think i'm good enough at games to where people would watch me. |
| My dream job was to be an owner / operator of a Video Game Arcade & Diner business, where it's literally a few hundred upright arcade machines in rows, cocktail cabs and stuff. Not redemption machine B.S. ---a time warp hangout for kids of the late 70s through late 1990s and "unique attraction" for the modern generations. Only it's not really realistic. And Covid Variable Era killed off most of the good non Barcades I knew of. And unless dragged along as a kid, most young folk play games on their phones or consoles on internet. They'd never be arsed to "go hangout" at a physical location to play old school games or a few modern ones. So that dream job never happened and won't happen. I was great at Security Force Protection work holding the line against the desperate/stupid and crazy/brave types, but at 41 in March 2020 had had enough of that. Might be working a driver job soon that let's me drive all over Texas ferrying ppl around for private companies, and I love to Drive, so maybe that'll be my dream job soon. Who knows? |
| I've always wanted to be an author for as long as I can remember I did actually publish a novel last year. So, uh, GG, me? It wasn't very good, though |
My greatest contribution to this website:  |
| Being a blacksmithing homesteader forging tools in his shop everyday. Problems are that my home is overcrowded or densely populated and that my science still needs to get better. Especially oceanography and geology. Still, I look forward to getting my dream job. I don't mind living alone, taking care of myself. I will most likely get satellite internet, but I know that I won't be missing Screwtube, other dumbass websites from Commiefornia or Netflix. Would sure love to smith like in Skyrim, but with the energy efficient rocket stove instead of big ass furnaces burning too much fuel. Next one I'll make will most certainly be made of clay and fiberglass. |
