I'm totally doing this!
Brian May, the lead guitarist from rock band Queen, is close to earning his doctorate in astrophysics -- more than 35 years after quitting his studies to become a rock star.
I was originally going to go straight through college, eye on the Ph.d, but I decided in Brazil to experience the business world and get my ph.d later. I still dream of that ph.d (I really like the ring of Dr. Schlegel, don't you?). 10 years ago I had no idea what I would study. That's an easily answered question today, I know I'm going to study Cognitive Science. Because the world, is so much more than we see.
Nice!!!!!! You should totally do that! I think you'll find it far more fulfilling. But why not Dr. Vescent? :-)

I also vote for Dr. Vescent!! Way to go, Susanna!! BTW what exactly is Cognitive Science? And did you say you were studying Business in Brazil? Monkey Business!!! (Tee Hee)!

Dr Schlegel and Heathervescent. Imagine that they are two personalities of the same coin. I like the ring. (Like Dr Jekyl and Mr Hyde - ha ha)
As far as cognitive science goes, I'm looking into this program. It seems to be pretty good and it's in the LA Area (which is a bonus, since I don't want to leave)

and I'm considering track i: Cognition and Information Processing or iii: Perception and Action, although I am very intrigued by ii: Mathematical Behavioral Science
Dr Schlegel, here I come.
