Goodevening/afternoon/morning/day.

I am a fairly unregular poster on this forum, and today I would like to request some help of you, fine forumgoers. I have recently entered a pretty serious "midlife crisis" concerning whether or not I will be able to get through college. I am highly considering taking history as a bachelor and then International Security and Civil Rights as a masters. I was wondering if anyone here have some advice on whether or not history would be good af a person with asperger such as myself, or would taking a natural sciences course be better for me. Let me make it clear, that I am not caring about job oppurtunities at all.

Thanks in advance.

It all depends on which field you tend to do better in. I can see a person with Asperger's excelling in either history or natural sciences, or both. Consider your history with both subjects before you make any decision.

If you are interested in history you should take it.
I really like history too. Good luck!

Save $25,000+ and get a library card.

I have never even heard of this as a major. What does it entail? Yet again, my advice will most likely be "save tens of thousands of dollars and get a library card".

do it. if history is what you enjoy then do it. hell if i didnt care about job opps then your plan sounds like what i'd enjoy studying. those three subjects fit so neatly together too.
