    I went to West Point military academy, and am also getting my Masters through there. After the Army, hopefully I will get some help from Urnamma in getting my PhD and going into archaeology.

    I'm a senior undergraduate at Williams College, in Massachusetts. Next year, I'll be beginning graduate PhD work in Medieval/Byzantine history, although I'm not yet sure where I'll be--Harvard, Notre Dame, Princeton, or Oxford (in England) are all possibilities at the moment.

    Yeah, I know, nothing at all to do with the timeline of EB. But that doesn't mean I love the mod any the less.

    Cheers.

    What period/focus are you thinking of for your Ph.D? I'm curious, as I have a deep interest in Byzantium too:-)

    Though if you do go to Harvard, we must get together and share a few drinks and discuss Byzantine History; Holy Cross Hellenic is not terribly far away, after all.

    Let's go with Masters of Science in Microbiology at... there are just too many options here, but I'll go with Auburn University.

    Cheers.

    Edit: Although I considered the University of Arizona, U. of Alabama, and so forth, I couldn't come up with anywhere else that is A___ University....

    If you read the Voicemod Preview you'd know better (for the AU part). At least if he hints at the thing I think he does...

    I buy books and read them, always been interested in military history. Degrees? eh? Infantry, bouncing, bodyguarding, security? Library card maybe?

    Well, after going through all the time and effort to apply, and make arrangements to go to university, at the last minute (literally a week before) I was struck down with a terminal case of apathy and couldn't be arsed going!

    I was going to do Chemistry at the University of Hull. Instead, I found a job and have now been sucked into the daily grind of mortgage and "working for the man".

    Although, I did go to college part-time for 2 years for a HNC in Chemistry.

    Not awfully relevant to anything on EB at all I suppose, but I still love it!!

    Anyway for what I'm gonna do once I get there no idea .

    I'm currently attending Northern Arizona University, and will obtain a degree in History, with minors in classics and religious studies.

    From here, I'll go on to Holy Cross Hellenic University for graduate degrees in Byzantine Studies and Theology. And from there...I'll eventually perhaps be ordained as an Orthodox Priest. Lots and lots of studying to do!

    Some say I'll be wasting a career as a historian by doing so, but really, what matters is what YOU want to do.

    See I'm not going to let my like for history die . It will be a nice minor to go along with a hard science . And it will deceive potential employers into thinking I'm capable somehow of higher though :)


    Oh and the lawyer dude my dad is a lawyer . What degree did you pursue before you went to law school?

    I would be minoring in Classics, except that my school doesn't have minors in the first place. In fact, I'm only one class away from being a History-Classics double major, rather than simply a History major with eight Classics courses.

    Cheers.

    Indeed:-)

    The classics minor here at NAU is a joke, really, but I decided to go for it anyway. I'll be finishing that next semester, along with my Religious Studies minor, which I picked up simply because I only needed 3 more classes for it...and I was going to take those three classes anyway.

    Might not hurt you to get that double major. Unless you think it'll affect your GPA....

    Out of curiosity, how did you get into Byzantine studies?

    I have studied history and politics in Trier and Potsdam but my job has only little to do with that (I am running a book shop ).

    OK the first lawyer in the bunch.

    I graduated from Wabash College in 05' as a History major and a chemistry minor, where I specialized in West Africa and East Asia. I wrote a 50 page paper on the shipping of riles in a circular from War in the Americas to the Transatlantic Slave Trade in the West, back to the Sugar Fields of Cuba. The riles begin their journey in the New England Coast (During King Phillip's War) to European (Primarily Dutch) slave traders who introduced them to Gold Coast warrior (where rifles were so valuable that local tribes would trade their POW's for rifles), and finally how those newly traded slaves revolted once they arrived in the Americas.

    After that, I went to Indiana University Purdue University-Indy to study my MA in Medical Ethics. I'm almost done with that now.

    Now I'm midway through my first semester of law school at IU in indy.

    and I just got engaged!

    whew...



    (obviously I just never seem to find time to finish that Roman campaign. I always want to play M/M because I don't want unrealistic AI expansion, but I want the rebels to attack cities. oh the decisions!) Someday, I'll have some time to finish it up though! Salve!

    Biology B.S. and Cultural Anthropology minor at the University of California. It's kind of fun hearing all that Greek and Latin both in EB and in all the scientific names :-P Planning to go on to be an eye doctor :-)
