Computer Information Systems, if that counts as "science".

I'm not really interested in going past the BS level, I'm a terrible student; I mostly pick up system specific certifications now and then.

I'm also a terrible student but I seem to be improving with age. My school grades were mediocre at best and I barely scrapped a 3rd with my first BSc (41%.....) but I managed a 2:1 with my second and I am currently on course for a distinction with my MSc.

Of course if I actually studied in my early 20's I wouldn't have had to send so long in higher education....

BS in electrical and computer engineering. Why both? Because the department was having a "buy one, get one free" sale on degrees.

There is no such thing as a hobby without politics. "Leave politics at the door" is itself a political statement, an endorsement of the status quo and an attempt to silence dissenting voices.

To be fair, the thread title says 'trained'. You can't train someone who was born knowing it all already.

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.

But was that a natural occurrence, or the result of some top secret CIA program during the Cold War to artificially create the perfect womaniser so that they could finally compete with James Bond?

But doesn't get to sleep with Minnie Driver when Minnie Driver was hot. Affleck could probably sort you out though, seeing as he doesn't age.

Anyway, I have a PhD in political science; a discipline that is both more and less scientific than its name implies.

I work in HIV vaccines, with a PhD in epidemiology. I do large observational studies in preparation for clinical trials. I live in the US, but my work is primarily in Africa working with (mostly) African teams and African investigators. I don't travel as much as I used to (wife! kids!), but still get to go to Africa at least once a year.

Best job in the world.

I study IT in an engineering school, and plan to get at least a master's degree. Probably more, depending on how much money I can gather.

(Not sure if it really counts as science but... Eh, whatever.)
