Here's my nerd response. Stay at Akron and get a PhD in Polymer Science. I work with polymers now and have a BA in Chemistry, but wanted a PhD from the time I was 14. I came back to Columbus to go to OSU and had some health issues that kept me from finishing my first degree on time. I'm happy now, but I still wish that I had a PhD. Other than that, hit on more women. The worst that can happen is that they say no.
