The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

I wonder how much pheasant costs right now.

There's a bigger market for steaks, pheasant meat is an acquired taste. It is not like chicken or any other domesticated bird.

Not so weird, folks do it all the time. Specifically in engineering. If you are looking at an engineering field I would suggest going for your P.E. takes a while but gets the interesting jobs.

Ahh, good to know! ^^ I am kinda kidding around with that, because I know Data Science / Computers are something I am sort of set for, but it does make it nice to hear that you can always have a change of heart down the line. :blush:

Maybe not an engineer, but I do know that if this current thing doesn't work, my second calling is being a Maths teacher... most likely. And I want to do the whole creative thing with it, not just droning on and on and making kids hate the subject.
