Back in the old days, there were pretty slim pickings about what to do for a career. Basically, people just did what their father or mother did. Then, as education became more available to the masses, every parent’s dream was for their child to become a doctor, lawyer or accountant. Secure a respectable job and make the big bucks.    But what if you didn’t want to drag out your days in an ordinary job, working for the man in a major multinational corporation? What if you were more interested in say, mystical and astrological matters?   In 1996, when Rod was deciding his career fate, there was actually a one-year diploma in Astrology and Jungian psychology from The Urania Trust in London. He nearly signed up but chickened out and did the corporate grad entry thing instead. He loved it (NOT). Don’t make his mistake! Whatever you’re interested in, there’s a degree out there and some of them are pretty wild.   CHAPTERS: 00:00 Rod’s dreams for psychoanthropology 05:07 Masters of Science: Brewing and Distilling 09:36 Royal School of Needlework 12:18 Unusual Performance Degrees 15:20 The Art and Science of Time Measurement 20:56 Puppets and Existential Sadness 25:10 Surf Science In England 27:20 Theme Park Engineering 29:07 Bagpipe Studies at Carnegie Mellon 34:45 Ethical Hacking: Training criminals 38:56 What Next on The Wholesome Show   SOURCES: BSc (Hons) Ethical Hacking Degree | Abertay University Policy Statement - 99-12 Engineering, Bachelor of Science in, Option in Theme Park Engineering- Academic Senate | California State University Long Beach What Is Piobaireachd? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strathspey_(dance) 16 most unusual university degrees - Save the Student Ten of the most unusual degrees in the world | Student 20 Strangest Bachelor's Degrees Urania Trust Royal School of Needlework See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
