I am majoring in music.

I have been a lover of music for years and I mean this as in more than the normal listener. I have chosen this because one of my dreams is to open my own laber for up and coming electronic artist here in the N.W. get started. I also want to do my own original music as well as get into the remix business.

What about the rest of you? What drives you for your furtherment of education?

    BA: English/Emphasis in Writing. Minor in French.

    Now getting my PhD in Literatures in English: Medieval Lit.

    I can't imagine myself doing anything else. I've tried (worked for four years) and wasn't happy. I love reading/scholarship/literature and writing. And I enjoy teaching this to others.

    Physics...(possibly astrophysics...if I can get into 2 more classes)...I love understanding how the world and the universe works. For me, it's easy and it's logical. I can look at almost anything and explain why it works.

      Another astrophysics major here.

      I do it because I like a good challenge.

      To be honest, I don't think astrophysics is easy though. Personally, I find that it's hard. Really hard.

        I am dually majoring in Animal Science and Veterinary Technology. I love animals and working in the veterinary medicine field will allow me to help people through animals.

          Yeah I see that connection between people and thier animals. I sort of feel the same way about my field of interest. I think you can heal people with music just as easy as with medicine. Oh wait it's the same thing, well as long as you can go along with the native american ideal that medicine is simply a means to heal someone. Medicine is such a open-ended thing. Especially if you see medicine as a thing that heals a person and not a drug per-sei.

            I just switched into Religious Studies. It's not because I'm attached to any particular tradition at all, but rather trying to really dive into the question of their intersections with each other and why the most powerful Western faiths still can't let the others be and feel the need to prosceletize their specific literal paradigms. Not to mention these spiritual schisms are still intertwined with cultural imperatives and would undoubtedly be a huge part of deconstructing societal constraints. No organized faith is immune to corruption or fundamentalism and yet a fair amount of individuals' faith is the driving force for them to take care of the earth and their fellow person. I would also have to strongly agree with you, Rat. There's so many things that can heal on the individual and then world level. If Big Pharma has their way, prescription drugs will be slowly become the new "God" at the expense of the much more natural and effective solutions. I'm a fan of clearing the body's constrained energy field, and due to the vibratory nature of sound waves, I'd say this is actually pretty similar to the method of music.
