| I agree it's not a sound financial investment. But, like many people here I have a special interest and going into academia is the socially acceptable (and probably only) expression of that interest. I'm not doing it for money I am doing it because I wish to explore a topic and be good at something ... |

| I recently got an offer to do a PhD, I work 2 part time jobs and right now I can't afford to do it self-funding. My PhD would be in philosophy (with a foray into history of science and 18th century history) --- I was wondering how other humanities people deal with this. It's really important for me ... |

| I've met extraverted aspies before. one guy was an artist and he talked so much he didn't give much of a chance for other people to talk. I thought that was interesting because I think that I am a little bit like that myself sometimes. I like to talk about things that I am really interested in so do... |

| Does anyone here play Ingress? I find as someone with anxiety and aspergers, that the game is an enabling experience. I am also able to potentially socialise with people through the game and get out of some of my anxiety issues about physical outdoor spaces. I'm interested to hear about other people... |
