I will make my best effort to not get on your bad side, then.
It does involve quite a bit of math, but I do enjoy that as well. More than one person told me I was wasting my brain by becoming an actor, but I suppose that's the trade off for following one's passion. I have studied it a bit on my own, but not enough to make me an expert on the topic by nay means. And no, they don't go anymore, though I think it's more to do with the costs not outweighing the benefits. Besides, I think they're more focused on figuring out how to get a manned mission to Mars at this point.
I think getting to enjoy what you do is the very least people should try to get out of life.
