  You have so many choices!

  Can't reiterate enough what others have said - go for what you like best and what you're good at. You don't have to slog your way through a degree to figure out if you like it, so long as you're willing to ask lots of questions in advance to people who've already been through (we'll help!).

  I started computer science/computer engineering at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (actually pretty good majors for certain energy efficiency green stuff), but ended with ecological economics and biochemistry/biophysics. Worked some and now at the University of Chicago for Public Policy and possibly Environmental Science. I'd reiterate too the comment about how law is sometimes a good fast track to leadership positions (but think about whether leadership/management is the best place for you. "Lower" analyst/researcher/activist positions can also be incredibly important).On Umbra on choosing a college posted 1 year, 9 months ago 21 Responses

  Not so much with the porn

  I can't evaluate anyone else's experience, but my near-vegan one has been pretty easy. I'm with Pangolin on not preferring the prepackaged soy-meant-to-look-like-chicken-breast, but that leaves beans and seitan and nuts and a whole bunch of other things that are not difficult to cook with. Nor has it been an issue with hosts. I just eat my salad/vegetables/baked beans/etc. and don't mention to my host that boy, if there was less meat here I'd have more choices. Given that, most hosts don't even notice, and I still end up full and happy.On Is it possible for an NFL star to go meatless? posted 1 year, 9 months ago 8 Responses
