I've seen a lot of science/math grad programs which are quite generous - free tuition, stipends, some even provide housing - but am wondering about whether any colleges offer these for liberal arts, specifically film, writing for the arts (novel, short story, screenwriting), or photography? What kind of programs should someone like me who has extensive college loans (from my B.F.A.) be looking for? I'd like to enroll in a grad program but it would have to be very generous. Do they exist?

I wanted to be a teacher for most of my life, but now I don't want to do that. I have nothing that I would want to do with the rest of my life for a career, like I'm not passionate about biology or business or law or medicine, etc. I'm passionate about my family and friends and things... but just nothing I want to do for a career. I'm a junior in college so I need to figure it out pretty damn quickly. I've got a 4.0, I'm not lazy or stupid... I just don't have a dream job. What's a good degree that anyone can use to find a good job that would provide a secure income? Thanks!

There has been a big myth about why kids from Asian background is good at maths and the Caucasian kids aren't as good. Many people blame it on coaching industry and that parents force kids to work harder, ... But no one seems to care about the English problems of migrant kids.

The Asian kids are only good at maths because they have to work harder in maths to make up for their English disadvantages. In English speaking countries like the US, Canada and Australia, migrant kids always trail local kids in English due to the lack of a good English speaking home environment.

However I feel that Asian kids are still not quite matching white kids on the top level of abstract maths. That's why we still see that most top mathematicians at Universities are still Caucasians. or perhaps this is only because Asian kids are more interested in making money (there is not much money in being a mathematician)

Any ideas?

“Let me lay my cards on the table. If I were to give an award for the single best idea anyone has ever had, I’d give it to Darwin, ahead of Newton and Einstein and everyone else. In a single stroke, the idea of evolution by natural selection unifies the realm of life, meaning, and purpose with the realm of space and time, cause and effect, mechanism and physical law. But it is not just a wonderful scientific idea. It is a dangerous idea.”
