Well...I already have a very useless B.A degree in Creative Writing, currently working on a MS in Urban Planning (which I'm dropping out of), about to transfer into an Environmental Law/Land Use Planning JD/MUP joint program in Florida State Uni....
but I was also looking to go back and do BS/MS in Environmental Engineering/specializing in Land Use and Water Planning at FSU as well.
Both the Law and The BS/MS degree yield the same job availabilty potential and potential pay. But I work at a Law Firm now and I'm very turned off by the Law field and would prefer the empirical aspects of Planning...so I may save my self alot of tuition dough and do a MS in Engineering instead.
My "lottery ticket idea" is trying to get one of my manuscripts published and translated into a screenplay someday...
I'm also not one of those..."I want to retire by 30 and do nothing the rest of my life kind of folks"...I think this planet is too fucked up right now to not benefit from my talents...
plus that would be boring as shit...and I'd be more incline to start my own business....and not work as hard over retiring with a pension or savings.
