Education? (What do you do?)
After looking at the poll on "how old are you" and noticing that most people who post on this forum are either in their late teenage years or in their early to mid twenties I wanted to pose the question, considering the historically accurate nature of EB, how many people here are either studying a related subject at the moment or working in a related field (History, Archaeology, Anthropology etc.) and how many people are studying/working in completely unrelated positions?

Re: Education? (What do you do?)
I study philosophy and sociology (i have 5 exams left), but anyway i'm interested in history too so i read some books about that matter. Anyway there exist philosophical approach to history as well, so i wouldn't say that my "job" isn't related to history at all :book:

Re: Education? (What do you do?)
I study theoritical chemistry, but I have a lot of interest in history.... I'm now just half year away for completing my bachelor degree, and after that I'll take on magistrate.... Well, my education is the one that "almost completely unrelated" with the history...

Re: Education? (What do you do?)
I study history and ancient filology( classical latin and Attican Greek) so i'm practically studying EB. An hour ago in my class, the professor wanted to know how does one use the word "nota,-ae" and it hit me NOTA CENSORIA, and indeed the professor was very pleased with me being the only one to know where to use it...
So EB and my Study complement each other:beam:

Re: Education? (What do you do?)
I'm a final year chemistry student so I'm completely unrelated to the field. History is more of a hobby for me.

Re: Education? (What do you do?)
Laws school. Got my final exam in 27 days.
Damn I should be studying.

Re: Education? (What do you do?)
Classical and Near Eastern Archaeology. 4th Year.

Re: Education? (What do you do?)
I'm studying sociology and community/public health, so I'm not really related to EB, as I've never taken a sociology course that dealt with ancient societies. History has always been one of my favorite subjects though, so I try to take some courses on it when I have time. However, the courses I take are usually medieval era, I've only taken one classical era history course.

The same here. I study chemistry, I am interested in theoretical/computational/quantum/physical chemistry and I would like to continue in this field. History, especially ancient and medieval is my hobby.
Dude, I hope we will meet at some conference. :beam:

Re: Education? (What do you do?)
History BA, Ancient Times specialization, second year. Actually we don't really study the EB's timeframe that much (yet), but the Classical Eastern (like: Assyrian, Mid-Assyrian, Neo-Assyrian Empires) and Greek (like: Peloponnesian War, Greco-Persian Wars, The Society of Athen and Sparte) periods right now. And EB was quite handy for me, when I had to check the important greek colonies around the Mediterranean Sea. :clown:

You would be talking EB instead of the subject of the conference :clown:
I was a carpenter, now I am an unemployed Ma in history with a bot of political science added. My speciality is Viking Age- Middle Age, Roman and Military history.

Re: Education? (What do you do?)
I study Geography with an emphasis on natural resources and the environment.
It's not really related, although I can always write about how salinization and other destructive soil practices (due to agriculture) turned what was once the famed Fertile Cresent in Roman times into what we see today.....
Those deserts you see in Iraq and Syria aren't just because it's hot there...
-
Re: Education? (What do you do?)
Well, geography sets the setting and limits for developments that become history, so no historian can neglect geography...
-
Re: Education? (What do you do?)
Yeah, that's true. Guess it is related :yes:

Now that would be something interesting to read about...

Re: Education? (What do you do?)
First year MA student studying medieval history. I'm really into medieval archeology, but being at an American university I have to be in the history department and not the anthropology department to really study it.

Re: Education? (What do you do?)
Psychology, 2nd year.
But I also signed up to some history lessons to satisfy my thirst for history:laugh4:

Re: Education? (What do you do?)
Business Economy, first year, first exams next week. I've always been quite good at this. History is more a (large) hobby for me. And for history, I see
1. No great future job rewards,
2. Dutch history school is much more about late medieval till modern times.
3. I dislike the way history is approached at school.

Hope that my research on inorganic catalysis brings me to some kind of confrence :thumbsup:

Re: Education? (What do you do?)
I'm a geology concentration student at colorado state university, fort collins, and I hope to concentrate in paleontology.
I'm at junior level, but I only really just now started in the geological stuff (I'm done with the biological though). I hope to specialize in Archosaurimorph physiology, and documen the dinosaurs in the Arab world, as well as the eastern US. I'm really intereted in eye colors that dinosaurs could have had-kinda wierd, but it might be used. my channel on youtube kind of reflects this-nothing but bird-dinosaur stuff, defending the current science behind it, and talking shop with another paleobiology student (user prof1988):2thumbsup:
I'm supposed to also comajor or minor in mechanical engineering, but my math grades are too poor to let me qualify. (not that it matters-I only agreed to do it for my parents, so while its voluntary, its not critical)

Re: Education? (What do you do?)
I'm a first year university student transplanted from Hawaii to Victoria, BC. I'm studying anthropology with hopes to get into archaeology. I'd really like to specialize in Iron Age Northern Europe, and possibly Iberia too.

Re: Education? (What do you do?)
Guys, here's the punch! none will guess!
4th (and last, finally!) year at the national conservatory of Bucharest, I study classical music, I'm an opera signer, Kavalier Bariton (type of voice).
History is an hobby, along with medieval sword fighting, and jousting... a minute of silence for a jousting horse that died this summer... He was a nice bro... i also participate in non-professional rodeos and physicly train a lot (to help for the opera signing)...

Re: Education? (What do you do?)
Wow, i certainly didn't expect so many scientists. Well personally i am studying for my masters in Archaeology, mainly specialising in Celtic archaeology. Yes, kekailo, I am living the dream!

Re: Education? (What do you do?)
I study theoritical chemistry, 3th year, and has a major interest of historical based lectures (take outside lectures such as history and archeology)... Want to have a research on determining compositions of ancient artifacts... well, at least I made my education suits some of my hobbies at all... you need to determine whether the romans are collapsed from lead poisoning or not eh? an interesting topic of research... sadly I only can study local artifacts here... so I think I'll try to apply scholarship at europe... so I could study roman ruins...

Re: Education? (What do you do?)
