There's no doubt that scientific training helps many authors to write better science fiction. And yet, several of the very best were English majors who could not parse a differential equation to save their lives.
I saw Farrah Fawcett originally when she and her boyfriend, Lee Majors, came over to my house for a birthday party that I was having for my ex-wife, Leigh Taylor-Young.
Believe it or not, lots of people change their majors and abandon their dreams just to avoid a couple of math classes in college.
Once you make the majors, it's never a great feeling to go back to the minors - no matter what the circumstances.
I was an undergrad math major and a grad student in computer science. I'm hugely introverted, not atypical of math majors.
You know, I was once named Minor League Player of the Year... unfortunately, I had been in the majors for two years at the time.
No one cares about the Davis Cup. How many people know I won five Davis Cups and seven majors, but that I rarely played the Australian Open?
Now I'm giving up a little in the week-to-week tournaments but reaping the benefits in the majors.
The small companies who feel that the majors are a threat, or are predators, will use that as an excuse for their eventual downfall. Don't blame others for your own inadequacies.
English majors understand human nature better than economists do.
