Not quite sure how this is impossible.

Psychology, while generally considered to be part of both science and humanities, is very science based.

Neuroscience is very tied into psychology, especially brain disorders.

If you are talking about the Bachelor of Arts to a Bachelor of Science thing, I have always been a science person however a series of events has resulted in me taking a long way around to end up where I want to. However I do enjoy the Visual Art side that the Bachelor of Arts allows me to do.

If you are talking about the neuroscience/neuropsychology focus in the Bachelor of Science, there is no major called neuropsychology, however I will be able to take neuroscience related psychology courses based on the fact Ive already completed basic and advanced psychology courses in my Bachelor of Arts and can gain credit for them.

The study of rigorous literary critique needs new blood. Currently, I am in the midst of doing research on my dissertation. Dystopian literature of the twenty-first century (i.e. Huxley, Orwell, Bradbury, etc.) has been exceedingly insightful in terms of what they have accurately foretold. I am interested the synthesis betwixt philosophy, science, history, and human experience. A dogged look at the dystopian literary paradigm would undoubtedly provide us with a unique--and all the more relevant-- perspective. History has a subtle way of reiterating itself when it goes unchecked. Let us all look upon the face of this eternal struggle between the dominators and the dominated, together.

The truth needs to be told, regarding the issue of the precious metals market. The value superimposed upon these fickle trinkets is purely arbitrary.

you know what? i used to think that too. but its not all about selling shit and making money. there is a human aspect to it as well. what people buy when they buy jewelry is more than the piece. they are buying memories and happiness. i talk to people years after they bought something that i made as a teenager ... that wasnt even particularly good... and they say that it still brings them joy when they wear it.

Also psychology. Also some philosophy.

inb4 you will have no work and no money:
1) Finish your physics degree, then we can discuss my future unemployment over the pizza you just delivered to my doorstep.
2) I have background in IT and a guaranteed job pretty much whenever I want.

inb4 not a science. Anyone who takes everything he's told during his BA (no matter the field) as absolute truth and doesn't question his professors' notes or his textbooks even once, will not develop a good bullshit detector and good intuition, and his self confidence will be shattered as soon as he realizes the theories he was taught during his BA were ancient and irrelevant. The ability to tell when you're being fed false information and flawed techniques is crucial in any discipline.
