I used to think getting a degree in Physics was
the best thing that ever happened to me. I've
even argued with my three sons that they would
profit greatly my majoring in Physics in college.
(To blank stares, mostly.)
But lately I've been seeing more and more parallels
to Catholicism and the great quantities of guilt
that having a degree in Physics generates. Solving
physics problems makes you think you can do anything.
So, of course, when the toilet leaks, or the car won't
start, or the bicycle gears won't change, you think
"Oh, well, I can probably fix that." Only to find
(at least in my case) that a degree in Physics
doesn't help all that much. :-(
I spend all my time worrying about what I "should"
be able to do instead of just calling the damn
plumber. :-(
Cheers,
David
