I have a degree in English, and have decided that I would like to get a doctorate in genetics. I started as a bio major and switched because the math (specifically calc 2) was too difficult (i.e., boring) for me. I've looked at some (grad) schools, and while I am qualified course-wise for some schools with insignificant genetics programs (which is good enough for me), I don't have any credible lab experience and it's nearly impossible to get any lab experience without the BS in bio, biochem, etc. I doubt I'd get into a grad school based solely on my piecemeal coursework. I'm thinking my best bet is to go back to school (theoretically older & wiser) and slog my way through the rest of that bio degree I started so many years ago. It wouldn't be a problem getting into school; all it takes is a signature on a superfluous form and lots of money (in the form of loans, sigh). <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I guess I don't really want suggestions, as I know most of the possible courses of action; what I really want are success stories to get me up off my lazy bum and do something.</blockquote>
