Try and look for a job, and if that fails - I'll go to China and get paid to stand around in a business suit at big companies to make them look important and international.

In other words, I'll literally be a professional white guy.

1) Leave Canada
2) Vagabond it up
3) Die alone.

Can't wait!

Go to archaeology grad school, preferably UCL, Sheffield, or Cambridge, and become a professor by day and a tomb-raidin', artifact-protectin', Nazi-slayin' hero by night. (The former part of this scenario is my life goal.)

Or, become a professor and replace Noam Chomsky.

Or, become a hermit and live in the North-West Amazonian Rain Forest, learning about - and eventually consuming - all kinds of hallucinogenic plants.

In all scenarios, but perhaps more likely in the last one, become the Flying Jaguar God of the Smoking Mirror of Fire-Water. (Aztecs ftw)

Most likely graduate studies in pursuit of my Masters and Ph.D or purely the Ph.D if the Masters isn't necessary...

Am I like.. the only person in hons life sci that is largely interested in research...?

Might apply to med school just for the hell of it, though. Don't know if I'd go though.

Yeah it seems like everyone who's in my program wants to pursue med and they are so blinded by it they haven't considered anything else, or, what's worse, is they're like "MEH IF I DONT GET IN ILL JUST DO RESEARCH!"

Example being brook asking the ochem class who wanted to actually like..be a scientist..and 3 of us raised our hands...of 600 people.

Go back to university, because I don't know what I want to do. I'm already doing a second degree. A third can't hurt
