Is 'Highly-educated' the best investment for the rest of your life?

[Fassina]

If I could go back I probably would have gotten an electrical engineering degree not as a safety measure but just as a thing that interests me. Yeah I can learn it by myself, but having a pre made program I can make use of for free would have been convenient.

I could have gotten a full scholarship. But alas I wasn't really interested in it at the time, and now I've got different priorities.

Anyway, my suggestion as a start would be becoming a writer, with a phd you get automatic authority and can easily find something that would be interesting to a layman in the neuroscience area.

Other than that brain implants and interfaces are coming up shortly, so you could consult or work in that area if you get some expertise in it soon. This may even be a good topic for a book.

Good luck and welcome ;P
