OK, here's a new one.  I've always wondered if Nanny is really inhabited by a larger number of programmers than even I imagine.  I recall that some of the earliest players and admin were actually into physics, math and engineering.  So, to see what the state of the MUD is today:

What are you currently studying, if still in school and what level are you at (undergraduate or graduate).
If you have already finished, what is/are your most advanced degrees.
If not in college - what are your plans to study or career to pursue.

I've always wondered if Nanny is as diverse scholastically as it is internationally.

Good question. I've got my 'Master of Science in Computer Science and Engineering' many years ago, and have been working as a computer (IT...) consultant since then.

But, honestly, we all know the diversity is just about zero, we're all MUD geeks Wink

So, it seems that we've all mainly been in science of some type or another.  My own field is now medicine and I have finished my doctorate.  So, at least one or two of us didn't specifically study computers.

Allow me to rephrase: At least those of us who shared our educational experiences seem to have studied some type of science.   Evil or Very Mad

I've gathered that you're a teacher, but would you care to elaborate on your own studies and what you teach?

Eclectic scholastic record/experience.

Music, Computer Graphic/Design, Accounting (forced by work - yeach), Linguistics, Ethics (primarily medical), some other things in and around the edges.
Love to learn, and to so quickly and relatively easily, hate the system.
*shrugs*

Probably have enough credits/things I could test out of to get a degree - but not gotten around to sorting that out yet.
