Back in the olden days a BA degree focused on art, humanities, language, sociology, etc. Back in the olden days a BS degree focused on math, more math, physics, chemistry, biological sciences, etc. The basic difference was M A T H ... M O R E M A T H ... then four or more semesters of C A L C U L U S. In fifty years I've forgotten most of that MATH and Calculus stuff, but I still like to read about the humanities, history, sociology. That must mean something. My degree, like Cecil's, is a BS [That does not stand for Bull S...] |

But I still earn my living doing the BS stuff, although being a field anthropologist does sound interesting. |

Now I'm an ordained minister, ordained in 1988 as a Catholic Deacon, and serve as Chaplain to the incarcerated in addition to parish responsibilities. Us old hams have diversified interests !! |
