When I was younger, and fresh out of high school, I decided I wanted to become a Geophysicist. Being that I was living in a region that boosts a landscape containing some of the highest concentrations of oil reserves in the world, and somewhat motivated by money, it seemed like a good choice.
After 3 years of studies, I came to realization that I was not at all fond of calculus, nor did I have much of an affinity for physics. So I changed my field of study.
My biggest regret..I wish I had stayed long enough so that I, with the other scientists in the class, could experience first hand the gathering of the graduates, in what I would assume to be a large secret auditorium with no windows. We would then be taught the secret hand shake, followed by the speech from government authorities and big business representatives in which we would be sworn to secrecy, and be required to pledge to the oath that we will only release data which falls in line with the pre-approved government message. (Although I am not sure whether this would happen at the Bachelor, Masters or Doctrate level)
Sound crazy? Ah huh, sure does. But if you read through the pro conspiracy, anti climate change, anti vaxxer literature, apparently the above must be true.
F'in nut jobs.
