Well, I think that according to the "Capitalism" by Michael Moore, education in USA costs 100 times more than in my country, without interest. Description of foreign colleges that I heard several years ago, really kicked me off my chair. I was listening to an interview with the (former) best student of the high school specialized in math who received a scholarship in (lets say) Oxford (if it is in Europe). She had a smile of happiness like "Screw Math". She was studying Biology (?) with a selection of optional programs, programs so cunning and intricate, devious conglomerate of a Few but excellent subjects. You would never have guessed what is her major subject or goal, what department is she on. Anyhow, ahem, the optional subjects seem like they are part of something big. Big life, big city. Campus the size of biosphere around Copenhagen. That's what I like. Its humane, superb, social and eloquent as if I am copying Xarene.

I am slightly (screwed), because I finished college, spent too much time and... Oh I am dying of romance. With Oxford. In the area of science, a public officer of science told me that they welcome doctors of science. They welcome others as well, but they cannot hire. The situation is much better with artists. They truly exist just as they do in your country and they are also a topic of jokes such as HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. We completely need Design all around us.

There is more sex among artists than mathematicians.

I think that in science like physics, there are mathematical forms - ideas and definitions that were established in the course of history. These are abstract forms, machines supposed to solve the problems, or initialize grand theories. I think that it is very useful to function in an environment or have somebody (in lecture room, as an associate) who is close to the production of mathematical forms. I believe that knowing the mathematical forms gives me mental consistency for which I would return to the ever greater studies (including hobbies). I was just inspired today to write this, because I was reading "Mathematical Mechanic" in the morning from Mark Levi.

"Design in the universe" is an impression from Infinitas... I don't use that word, bcuz it was taken by the crusaders for stating their belief. Geometrical shapes in the universe I learned recently, originate from the dynamics, which produces universality, universally reoccurring shapes. Its an exceptional wisdom if you are learning chaos theory, but if you're into design you could think that people pervade the universe. I know that sciences study generators of shapes.
