Because I dropped out of college due to depression, then had a manic episode and a seizure in quick succession, which basically ruined my entire life. I've been a NEET for over 5 years now and I only just started studying math again. I'll be lucky to get my bachelor's if I don't kill myself first.

Research in that field does not interest me nearly as much as directing the kinetic effects of RPAs. Sorry OP.

Biomedical sciences here. Don't you feel like other fields also improve the lives of other people? I feel like what I'm trying to do is only even possible because of the work of previous generations of physicists, chemists, mathematicians. Maybe the next generation can cook us up some sweet new tools to work with?

>> No.9564855

I'd like to. My grades aren't straight As though so anything more than a master's is just a dream.
