wasting years learning about poll optimization and legal jargon when I want to learn about the organization of society. i guess i assumed the so-called 'science of politics' encompassed that more so. it sucks because I'm a senior and at this point I guess I'll just ride it out
I did anthro. It held my attention long enough to graduate lol. Can't really do anything with a BA in it though, and I didn't really want to become an anthropologist. Quality of the department will vary greatly from school to school AFAIK. Mine was pretty cool I guess. One of my TAs (grad student) was Jason Hickel.
That's so cool. How was he?
He was great! I was (still am) older than him, but I really looked up to him and my other TA
You could go to Madagascar and write a bunch of books about it
Lol yeah. I loved reading the books, but the thought of writing them did not interest me at all. Seemed like it would suck all the fun out of meeting people and building relationships. Also, academia did hold some slight appeal for me, overall I don't think I would have enjoyed it.
