Do you have subjects that you're interested in, but when you get down to the nitty-gritty, they drive you insane?

Asked by RandomGirl (3362points) March 5th, 2013

I’m taking an in-depth course in biology this year. Some of the topics have been really fascinating, so I’ve done some extra reading, and realized that I will not be pursuing a career in these fields, like my parents suggested. Lol. I enjoy thinking and reading about these topics, but the actual work would drive me batty!

Do you have a topic like this? If so, what is it? What about it would be annoying to work in the field?

Yes there are only types of sciences I enjoy. It was hell taking Bio and Chem in my first semester of college lol. I was interested in some of the subjects but others totally made me hate the class. I started college as an aspiring Genetic Engineer and after taking those classes i switched to becoming a Psychologist. I am going to need to take those science classes again for this degree but not the same amount of them I would for a Genetic Engineer. Thinking about it now as you stated, it would drive me crazy being an GE if I would have to study in-depth in those classes.

Deviant psychology.

Honestly, there is no subject of interest to me that causes me emotional distress.

Not drive me insane, but I am very interested in medicine and cannot picture myself actually treating patients or being a part of the health care system. I guess I could have pursued being a researcher.

I took a lot of pyschology in school, but could not see myself getting a masters, and am not sure I would have been happy being a therapist.

Economics, and finance in general – it’s all very interesting, but I can’t seem to make myself actually put in any work into really becoming well acquainted with the subject field. It’s one of those things that fascinate and repulse me in a way.

Quantum Physics and String Theory… many of the concepts elude me, and the maths will pretzel your mind fast. But it also seems clear there are a lot of important principles in those domains.
