hello. you are intriguing and living the live i didn't choose but would like to someday.

Well I had a decision to make back when I was a Freshman and a Business major. I was in Finance, and most of the people who excelled in that major ended up doing investment banking; and, if they were hard workers, the generally made a lot of money and did well for themselves.

However, I didn't enjoy the field all that much and, not to much suprise, the other people in it didn't enjoy it either. They were simply in it for the money. So I knew I liked to travel and I knew I enjoyed studying politics so, after a brief foray into the hard sciences to see if I might enjoy them, I chose political science and decided to aim for the academic/PhD route. Will it pay a lot? Not really. Will I enjoy my job and will it let me see the world? Very much so.

In the end, that will make me happy. I don't need to be filthy rich to be happy.

What's your sexual preference?

I'm straight.
