Haha, even when playing DND I don't really understand wisdom :)
What do you teach?
"Wisdom": You're a sorcerer with a long beard. "Intelligence": You're the annoying engineering type that breaks the DM's beta in creative ways.
I'm a chemist, and I lecture in some engineering-related courses (mostly thermodynamics and mathematics)
Ooh very cool. I was never any good at Chemistry, but it looks fascinating
Thanks! I very much enjoy my profession, but I can also clearly understand that it's not for everyone. My major impression after lecturing for different engineering courses is that chemistry differs from most in that you need (even) more basics before things start getting cool. Most of the other engineers can start doing actual cool projects in first or second year, while the chemists don't really get to the good stuff before third or fourth year. On the other hand, I'm very glad I pulled through to the cool stuff at the other side :D
