Don't know much biology

[cyrano]

So initially I was going to ask "UCSJ or U Santa Clara" but since I am the stupid, I searched for UC Santa Cruz and wow that looks attractive too. So, compare and contrast, students, considering that I'm probably looking at continuing either my History studies or my Political Science studies, or both. I'm leery of Santa Clara because it's not in the UC system and thus probably more expensive.

EDIT: Except of course that there is no such thing as UCSJ and it's SJSU which is still a public school just not necessarily in the UC system and thus possibly an intermediate class of expensive.

Not at all. I'm happy to hear advice, especially from those with experience. And Political Science (the other half of my double major) seems to be a little less limited in that I could go into Law or Teaching. I'm just... not certain that, even if I were scientifically inclined, any degree would serve me that much better in the work force. I'd be forty by the time I graduated, whatever the degree program, and I can't imagine any employer interested in starting a middle aged man on a career path. But my view of the future is strongly colored by reading Gibson and watching the world over the past twenty years.

Even if teaching is your primary goal science is easier to get hired at secondary or post-secondary levels.

In high school coach so and so often gets the class without a command of the material.

Oh trust me, I know. I *had* Coach So And So for many many years. It's one of the reasons that I had no interest in history (outside of going to SCA events and scoping the hot chicks) until I got into college--because of inept, uninterested teachers.
