    That’s the one thing I wish I had done was get a graduate degree or even a doctorate in a physical science, cosmology probably. Problem was after getting a BS in engineering school I was tired of school and needed to go out there and make money.

    Anyway I love science and I read a lot about it, just wish I could understand the math for things like quantum mechanics and black hole physics. I could have done it, was good at theoretical math in college, but like anything if you don’t use it you forget it and I’m retired now.

    Problem with being a scientist is it takes the same effort as becoming a medical doctor, but without the high paying job at the end. I have a lot of respect for scientists, they do it only for love of the field because they sure don’t get paid well.
