Patricia, I also like science, but my favorite is biology (it's my 2nd minor). I learned quickly that chemicals and I don't mix well after nearly burning down my high school.  Oops!!
I'm NOT lost, I'm just taking the scenic rout! |

Either a mechanic/engineer or a particle physicist or a parasitologist (doctor who studies parasites, those things are awesome!). I love science, I love all the crazy and insane things that can be done with science, and don't get me started on quantum physics, but unfortunately the powers that be have other things in store for me.  |

wow, some intriguing choices there, CoastGurl!
in my Buddhism group we discuss about quantum physics a small bit - not the real technical aspects but how it relates philosophically- |

Thanks RottieWoman!
One of things with quantum physics is String Theory, and when you start incorporating that with Buddhism, its sorta like trying to figure out a spiderweb design thats covered in morning dew.
So my math isn't that good, and my spelling doesn't always make sense, but I try and that's really the only thing you can do in life. |

Okay, Imay. That's good. I think you'll need a GED sooner or later, even if you don't have to have it for the AnimalBehaviourCollge. - jus' |

If that were the only issue different, probably just have better credit and maybe more savings. Might be an accountant or have been an agent of the FBI (I was an agent of the INS before it became part of Homeland Security). The FBI was harder to get into and required specific degrees to become a special agent. Not that I would have been happy with it for the long haul, as I am just not the kind of person that enjoys confronting people in negative situations. |

I'd still be a writer. Maybe I'd be able to drive . . . |

I've just noticed that some of you can't drive. Is that part of dyscalculia? I thought it was just me! Wow, that's an eye-opener. I think that's probably the only thing I regret not being able to do. Although we have decent bus services here, they don't always go where I want to go and it would be lovely to just nip out when I want to instead of mounting an military campaign to organise a bus here, a two-mile walk there, then another bus to eventually get there.
It's a really interesting question, and the more I learn about dyscalculia the more I'm glad I've got it. I don't need the maths part for what I do and I've learnt to cope with everyday matters. I do get stressed out with some of the stuff that comes with it, but I'm in the fab position now to compensate by shutting off for a while and getting plenty of quiet time. But, I would hate to be without the rich inner life, being highly creative and inventive, and having original ideas.
If I didn't have it? Well, going by what most of my fellow schoolmates and my siblings did, then I would probably have stayed at one ordinary job for most of my working life, got married, had a mortgage and stayed where I was.
Definitely wouldn't want to be anything other than I am.
