The other night I was on my way home from my weekly meeting/ bible study at Old Soul, driving down the freeway (previously my sworn enemy) and I started thinking about my imminent return to higher education this fall. For some reason driving anywhere for longer than 2 minutes by myself sparks the contemplative centers in my mind. Probably because it's quiet and there's no one to interrupt me. Also I think there's just something about driving down a road that triggers a symbolic image of my future and were I'm going. Of course with that logic, I should have had plenty of time to plan my entire future when I lived in Georgetown when it took 30 minutes to get anywhere. But I digress.
So on this particular 15 minute drive, I was thinking about all the different majors I had previously considered and where those would have taken me. I then had a revelation. I want to do EVERYTHING. I wish I could just spend 10 years or so in school and learn every subject I want and eventually be a multi-subject expert. Then I could be a professor that teaches five different subjects and/or be a more dynamic writer that can speak on a wide range of subjects.
Alas, it's not really practical to spend that much time in school before starting a career. However, I hope to have the opportunity to continue learning these things throughout my life, if only as a hobby. Then by the end of my life, I will be a Religion/ Philosophy/ Psychology/ Graphic Design/ Digital Arts/ English/ Theater/ Baking expert. Perhaps I can roll them all into one and come up with some new discipline that other students would then study as a major in college. That way I could live off the patent rights. I'm fairly certain it doesn't work that way, but it sounded good.
I'll let everyone know how this works out.
