    Well that is better than a B.S. = B_ _ _ S_ _ _

    P.S.
    No offense to those that do have real degrees. My wife is an Archaeologist (Masters), and my oldest daughter is currently working on her BS in genetics.

    It is a lot of hard work to get those letters!

    24 units for your typical degree in Australia. I've only done 6 so far.

    Personally I'd prefer to detail cars. VIP car care franchise would be a ripper for not that much cash outlay (I have in the past and am still considering one for the future) I absolutely love working on exotic cars. 300ZX, 3000GT / GTO, MR2, HSV. For the same amount of "hard yacka" with digging those post holes you'd rack tripple the amount of cash.

    Yes, my home is like a laboratory as is.
    Wife = Archaeologist
    Daughter = Genetics
    Son 1 = Computer Science
    Son 2 = Entomologists

    I wonder what they have planned for me?

    I guess I would have to use a definition along the lines of:
    The study and exploration of ______.
    The blank being where ever the interest lies. I do not like to use "the physical world" for the blank because then, things like String Theory and Quantum Computers (maybe) would not fall into the realm of science.

    Science is what you do...when you don't know what you're doing.
    That sounds like the way I write code.
