Posting for my boyfriend - he is 25 years old with a high school diploma and 5 years of welding/ fabricating experience. In his free time he loves to research about biology, biochem, genetic engineering, etc. And he'd like to work in a lab doing genetic engineering/synthetic biology. He wants advice on how he could pursue this in a cost effective way. He thinks he would need to get a PhD to be able to work in a lab doing what he wants to do. Would you recommend he starts by getting his general education classes at a local/low cost college? Or do you think he would need to start at a more expensive private college to be able to be successful in this field? He seems to think his age being already 25 with no college diploma is a disadvantage. I told him it's not, but would appreciate if others could give their opinions on this. Thank you!!

They are. If you're interested in it, I recommend the book "Marriage of Heaven and Earth: The Philosophy of Astrology". The author draws a lot of parallels to things taught by Carl Jung to the philosophy behind astrology. One thing I'd caution, and it's my personal view, but I don't think astrology has much to do with predicting the future. It's more so about understanding/exploring the dynamics of the present. In general, I don't think anyone is good at prediction (I'm an economist - we suck at prediction, pollsters suck at prediction, psychics, etc. etc.) https://www.amazon.com/Marriage-Heaven-Earth-Philosophy-Astrology/dp/1850630216
