Is this a second Bachelor's for you, Valmy?

Yep.  Somehow that history degree was not propelling me forward in the work force.

You know, I ran into the same problem! Who knew?!  :o

I knew.   :showoff:

Despite being a big history nerd, I knew a history degree would be fairly useless...

So now you're doomed to repeat yourself.

I didn't study history because I had discovered that history research isn't done seriously.

I should have become a nuclear engineer.  Well, okay, maybe not.

I knew as well.  How I got one was a story of total fail.  What I was trying to get was a Physics degree.

Let me clarify.  Traditional history has been about reading and analyzing original documents.  That is pretty much wrapped up.  What are left are the overlapping/competing fields of archeology and anthropology.

I think we'll just have to disagree on that :)

How do you get a history degree by accident?  :wacko:

At my university a number of people started off in physics and ended up in the business school.  The usual route was Physics -> Electrical Engineering -> Computer Science -> Business. 
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

Wow, that is way more embarassing then just starting off in business to begin with...

I took lots of history classes for fun.  Towards the end of my time there I suffered depression and burnout so I just left, I happened to have enough history classes for my history degree though.
