I read the book Landslide by Desmond Bagley and that made me change my plans from continuing with chemistry to instead pursuing geology. I eventually ended up as a sw engineer anyway.

You never know where you end up, but any education is valuable.

Do people actually call their parents by their name (as in First-name basis)? Have you ever done that? Or witnessed someone doing that? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.world

Our children do, mostly, call us by our proper names. I guess it comes from us never talking of ourselves in third person.
