Yah, Rockefeller had approx 320 billion as his net worth in today's dollars; quite the fortune.

I wonder how much the Pope has? If he suddenly decided to liquidize all the Catholic Church's assets (gold reserves, paintings, wall murals, etc.) and, if he could, liquidize every single Catholic venture in the world, I'm sure his fortunes would fly to the trillions easily.

As for the OP, I intend to be a biochem/pre-med major and then attend med-school for general surgery. Then I'd like to travel a bit, using my newfound med skills along the way (through doctors w/out borders or somesuch). Then I'll find a nice rural place in the countryside, live there for a while, and retire. When I retire, I'll probably go back to scool and travel alot more.

I want to major in French, Arabic, Classics, or Math (seriously, haha). I'd like to be a journalist, writer (and I'm constantly learning new ways to make a living at that. It's actually possible with some connections!), magazine or newspaper editor, diplomat, lawyer, translator, or professor.

No idea what to major in, let alone have a favorite subject or in the slightest way suitable for a typical "humanities-oriented" or "math/science oriented" to be labeled to begin with. I'm pretty nonchalant for now with all subjects; I'll like history for one year (as I did in 8th grade, since US history was decent and the teacher was a BAMF, and only class I paid any attention to and actually did hw in the midst of my gaming 6 hours daily), then this year I thought all subjects pretty much equally boring, with biology a definite first being in the "worst subject" category.

I'll hopefully catch onto something later. I really envy those "Oh-ever-since-I-was-3-years-old-I-was-natural-mathematician!-yeah!-homie!" types of people. I have nothing striking yet.
