    Insurance sucks. Math is useful.

      Re: Uncommon Opinions

      My admiration to those of you who can rock advanced mathematics (from algebra on up). I wish I had talent for that so I could have become an astrophysicist.

      I'm an intelligent guy, but advanced math is very hard for me, and you need to have a fluency of it to succeed in any physics field.

      My strengths lie in English, but I find it really boring to study and I don't enjoy writing that much. Talk about a quandary.

        I took trigonometry last year for college credit. Not sure why, considering I don't need it.

          I can handle any kind of math you throw at me. I used to find it fun to take word problems and try to solve them in different ways from what we were taught lol.

          Anything having to do with anatomy it chemistry or anything like that though... Lets just say I studied for hours for an exam in my intro to neuroscience class and then proceeded to get a ZERO on it. I dropped the class the next day lol.

            Re: Uncommon Opinions

            I enjoyed more advanced math, but I hated having to memorize formulas. I got up to Calc II in college, but never studied so I got a D in the class. I understood everything, but just couldn't remember which formula was which.

            I love the sciences as well. I've been considering going for a Ph.D in Neuropsychology for a couple of years now, but the amount of debt I'm already in is crazy and I don't know that it's a career path that I want to pursue.. I would just like to learn more about it.

              I had to take Calc 1-4 and an advanced class past Calc 4 in college.

              I use none of that now lol. It sucked hardcore, but it's nice to have the Engineering degree rather than the Arts degree IMO.

              I do computer programming (web development stuff), so worst math I get into are calculations for some form a website wants to use (like mortgage calculator or something).

                Is that a challenge? We'll start simple. Prove every compact set is closed.

                    Lol, I mean Like if I'm in a math class, I'm very good at understanding what the professor is trying to teach me. Science goes right over my head.

                        Celebrity women arent nearly as attractive as some regular women.

                          That opinion isn't that uncommon.

                            I still am not clear on this, do you find celebrities attractive or no?

                              Depends on the celebrity, but there are definitely plenty of them who are way overrated.

                                That's valid. There are some striking celebs out there, but if you put them in everyday clothes and hair style it's amazing how they can blend in, let alone the less-striking celebs.

                                It's certainly not unusual on any given trip to a mall to see some genuine local stunners that will make you stare.
