I'm gonna live longer!!
Science and medicine students go on to live longer and healthier lives than those studying other subjects, according to a survey of men attending university between 1948 and 1968.Ahem! LOL!!
Peter McCarron, at Queens University Belfast, Northern Ireland, and colleagues examined the medical records of nearly 10,000 male graduates of Glasgow University. The researchers found that science, engineering and medical students had a substantially lower risk of mortality than arts students.
However, medical students went on to have the largest number of alcohol-related deaths and death from suicide or violent means. They were also the heaviest smokers as students, followed by lawyers.

damn....I am an art fag to the max, always study music, art and literature/writing ....hehe...I can say that Henry Miller lived to be in his nineties!!!
makes sense too that those in art wouldn't live as long...they are constantly dealing with the internal, whether it be with paints pen or instrument.

"The researchers found that science, engineering and medical students had a substantially lower risk of mortality than arts students."
I just read that as "lower risk of MORALITY"...
Anyway, good to know that all my arts-stream friends are going to die before I do. Hmm. Now all that's left to handle are the biotechnologists...

How interesting. Well, I am a half and half between Science and Business, so I wonder how long I am going to live ;) :)
