I wish I'd lived in the what are you talking about , University is free era. I would love to study some sort of science, maybe astro-physics or something...

One of Miss Seagoon's friends did a masters in Astro-Physics, her aim was to join the European space program. But she still couldn't get in so she did a teaching degree too. But she does not regret studying one bit. ( her degrees were free but she does live in Europe )

I. Am.Just.So.Jealous of all of that.

A regret I have is that I have right-of-abode in the UK. Prior to Brexit, that meant I qualified for subsidised university throughout Europe (as long as I could qualify)...I thought about looking into that at one point, and didn't.

I regret that, but if I'd done that I wouldn't have met MrsCalhoon and wouldn't have kidcalhoon1/2... So, you know, fair trade.

So, ~~she~~ they teach astro-physics?

Uni’s free for foreigners in Germany and some other EU counties I think..

She teaches physics at yr 12 level. ( I'm so proud of her, I've known her since she was 12. )
