Hiii Everyone... I would study Art History because it fascinates me immensely and I would love to get deeper and deep into Art Therapy.
@RideaRainbow
Paintings or any other kind of art can reveal so much about a person and be very helpful to express emotions.
So true. I have worked with it very closely in my spiritual workshops with kids n adults, how insightful was their art which they did after deep meditation.
I would study drawing and caricatures more deeply. I like it. I would study psychology of the human mind. It would help to help others in pain/ trouble. I find that it lessens my pain.
@humorousTriangle605
I can relate, the psychology of the human mind is mysterious and also exiting to me. When we understand it's easier to show compassion. Have you thought about doing home studies?
@amiablePeace77 Thanks, yes I did think about learning online at home. Though I'm not sure which sites would be good for this purpose. Will have to research..
Such a great question!! Today, June 25, I have officially retired from my school counselor position. 😉. My next venture is studying to take the test to. Be a clinical therapist. So out of school, and back to studying lol.
@yzzil
Wish you all the best for your test to become a clinical therapist and in the meantime I hope you can enjoy your retirement 
Interior design and architecture- I am intrigued by smaller affordable house designs- particularly remodeling an exsisting structure. Live in an area that is being overrun by overpriced and empty second homes. Appreciate those who honor the environment they have purchased.
@ScoreKing
Smaller affordable house designs would make acquiring homes so much easier for many people!
I would take up botany, or the study of plant organisms and how they grow, develop and evolve, and if possible, ethno-botany, or the study of a region's plants and their practical uses through the traditional knowledge belonging to a people or culture.
@InquireWithin
I believe botany and particularly ethno botany is not only very interesting but also very helpful to our societies in terms of remedies for illnesss and prevention - just thinking about immune system supporting plants for example.
Honestly, I don't know if I could pick anything in college to study. Maybe veterinary medicine. Really, I'd probably go to a trade school and learn to be something like an electrician or mechanic or something like that.
@thoughtfulmomma
Studiying to become an electrician or mechanic can be very helpful lateron in all day life!
@amiablePeace77, Yes, I would love to return to school to study information science or horticulture or farming. I know I can do the information science study and I love books. I also love anything to do with plants and would love to have my own farm.
@purpleTree4652
I hope one day you will get your own small farm or have a container garden (using grow bags for example) to do some sort of farming.
Hello Everyone! Happy Friday:)
If i would return back to school i would study World history, because i never paid attention in high school and thought it would waste my time.........Mr. C did say i will one day regret it. He was right:)
Always enjoyed the subject, or at least certain topics in it.
@neverendingTime23
I hear you, something I regret too so I try to watch movies or just read about it. To understand the world better we need to know what happened in the past.
I think I would study psychology. It's just something that has always interested me.
@timvicary71
I can fully relate, psychology (to me like the study of human behavior) is fascinating. What would be your field of interest in psychology?
@amiablePeace77
I would definitely study something much more helpful for people and not the others things I studied in college long ago.
I would not choose nursing due to all the regulations and scheduling that is involved. But, I believe I would choose either a MS Registered Dietitian or a MS in LMCH.
@Amelia2324
Nice Amelia, I believe there's a lot one can do with the right diet to support mental illnesses.
