Ah, I like to read a lot and my legal studies have equipped me the necessary vocabulary but there is no possible way to foresee the odd foolish spelling error or the damn autocorrect!!

What gets me hot under the collar is its attitude of patronizing superiority. Just imagine if it were not a software function, but in fact, a real person looking over your shoulder and correcting everything you type!
I guess we would be in George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four then

Klownz, what is it with you being - pardon my words - a major a**hole lately? Has some troll taken away your candy or what?

Yeah, the trolling problem is bad enough on the board without regulars adding to it. You are quite a knowledgeable and decent poster when you are not at that - I like your lists too. I actually liked you but there was no need for some of your comments on this thread.

Psychology would be interesting to study I think. Did you like it? I was in the same boat as you but I ended up not going for the masters. I am sure I will regret it later.

You don't need a Masters to succeed in some areas but for Psychology you really need an MSW at least to open big doors. I currently love my work, I do weekend groups at a rehab/behavioral treatment program. Basically pep talks to heroin addicts and people who had attempted suicide 2 night before. I have my own little niche with playing guitar and singing a cover being a little part of each group.

You work sounds rewarding because you are really making a difference to peoples lives, helping people who are struggling. Back before I went to college I considered doing Psychology but I ultimately chose Law over it.

I left school age 12 (lucky me!). Later on I obtained a diploma in computer engineering in the late 90s but I haven't required any level of education for what I do (IT service manager).
Not a big academic, although if I were rich enough to not have to work I'd definitely head to university and get a PHD in Philosophy.

I think it is genuinely commendable that you later obtained a diploma in computer engineering even if you didn't need it in your career. I wouldn't know the first thing about computer engineering! It is like a foreign language to me.

As it turns out it was more who I knew and what I knew than the piece of paper but I'd definitely NOT recommend that path to anyone. Definitely hit the books and get the technical qualifications.
I'm bored to tears with computers now days and have been for years, I'd rather work on cars or be a party planner or something. Some kind of alcohol-industry related job perhaps (Whisky salesman)
