So the music is out, or out as a study field. Had other things i have highly considered. First, literature. I like writing, and there can be a crapload of improvement on my writing style and my english, so why not. Besides, 2nd year they do jane austin, which i really enjoy. So something down the writing/literature path could be good. Anyone have better info what good this could do concerning job opportunities? I can write, but i need something safer. Other interests include directing, making films(goes great with music) and things down the creative line. So what do you guys think, suggest or say i should consider? If i can find something good that fits me, i will go for it. Has to be part time(unisa preferably) and not too intense, due to job pressures. Will discuss this with an elder at my church as well. The one i want to talk to has his phd, got it from oxford earlier this year. He is a smart oak, and i have huge respect for him. So yeah, i am going to see what i am going to do...

Francois, first and foremost follow your heart in this. You need to do that which will bring contentment, as far as work is concerned. If the career which you ultimately choose is going to be a job only, then go with that which will bring about material reward, but if you choose that which will bring fulfillment, then possibly go with something which may not be as lucrative as you would wish, but which "speaks to your soul". From what i've gathered you would do wonderfully with kids; heaven knows, there's a huge need for psych./counsellors who specialize in the younger generation. Personally i only know of 3 down here, and they've got more work than they can handle. About 10 years ago i worked with Special Needs children, specifically those with cerebral palsy, as a remedial educator, and it was probably the most rewarding thing i've ever done. Literature is a good choice too, and your English is fine, believe me. Go with your heart, boet.

@ Kryptik, thanks bru, good things to think about:) i am at a great place without having qualifications where there are many kids in my life which is good. Get to work with them anyway, which helps. I feel a severe need to go with something that i can use to express myself and also touch peoples lives...maybe i should play in a punk rock band again:)
Sat outside tonight, and a few minutes ago i noticed a guy in the corner of our neighbours yard. I only had a brick, and even though he was definately up to no good, i could not really do anything. I signalled to Paul to phone the cops, and when i turned to look the guy was attempting a new 100m dash record down the road. I should have worn shoes, even if it is just to scare the bugger by chasing him a bit. So to our cop friends and ones more educated in the way of the scales of justice, what can you do in such a situation? If i had my walking stick(for moering) i would have surely been highly tempted to knock the living feces out of the oak.

@Francois i haven't managed to get a connection where i can succesfully download from (which is one reason why all my albums are purchased), but as soon as i do, i'll pm you and request the link again. right now it's tough for me to view more than the first and last pages(which is one reason why i'm very rarely ON topic).

Next up, we have this:
A pic taken with the Nokia 3230, perhaps resembling an explosion of sorts with chunks of debris hurtling towards one ( I have a vivid imagination), but is actually the result of an inquisitive Wanqa experimenting to see how such contrasts of extreme light and dark are picked up on the cellphone's cam....and scorching a few hairs on the hand in the process.
Seeing that I didn't win the Euro Lotto, maybe I won't mention that it's heated braai coals to anyone else, then print the picure out and display it in the Tate Modern Art Gallery in central London, give it a naff title like 'An Interpretation of Hades', or 'The Wrath of a Distant Supernova In The Outer Realms' ...and hopefully it'll then sell for millions...
By the way, I know this is not a new pic at all, (way back during the New Orleans floods in the US, I presume), but don't you just love ambiguities?
Hmmm, I wonder if Michael Moore had a part-time job at Sky News...

@francois - Drama. It's the best of music and language, without the rigidity of formal music.

@ Francois,
This perhaps goes without saying, but checking though many job ads and doing some research as to future job prospects, salaries, job specs etc. in the specific fields that you have narrowed down, will also be fundamentally important in helping you decide.
I'm not saying this is the be all and end all; just a cliche of sorts in the ilk of 'it pays to do your homework', and no matter how clued-up that elder is, lend your ear to others that may know a thing or two about some of the possible fields of study that you are contemplating, and see if they are all singing similar songs or not...

Gee, there seems to be more going down in my left nostril than around here this weekend.
I've got a mini-review lined up with pics for tomorrow night. It's a relatively new entry level
.
@ da brixsta,
Hope you didn't suffer too badly today, after your stint in the gym yesterday.
Gotta hit the sack now, otherwise it's another battle to get up later...
