EVE General Discussion

If having someone at your side to fly with who will always use their intelligence to make the best choice possible, reduce the risk to self and team and strive for excellence is boring then you're right. I'm probably a dull co pilot.

If losing hundreds of dollars worth of ships regularly is fun to you might I suggest mining? From the forum cry miners seem to have a blast.

Internet Spaceships is serious business, and don't you forget it. EVE is real.

"Becoming a psychiatrist requires many years of schooling, especially at the graduate level. Individuals must first attend an undergraduate program, where they may choose to major in psychology or a related subject. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the minimum requirement for medical school is three years of undergraduate study, although most medical students have earned a bachelor's degree (www.bls.gov).

Students must next complete medical school, which typically lasts four years. The first two years are the pre-clinical years that cover major systems of the body and diseases and introduce students to the practice of medicine. The final two years, known as the clinical years, place students in healthcare facilities performing clinical rotations (sometimes known as clerkships) under the supervision of licensed medical professionals. Psychiatry is a required rotation.

After completing medical school, individuals enter a residency program in psychiatry. These programs include intensive work experience in the major specialties and techniques used in psychiatry. In the first year, residents learn essential skills, such as interviewing, treating and diagnosing. As residents advance through a program, they develop advanced skills and are given increased responsibility.

Psychiatrists who wish to specialize in a particular treatment or population will need to undergo a fellowship. Fellowship programs typically last 1-2 years. During a fellowship, individuals practice techniques geared toward their specialty while performing research and attending seminars. Some examples of psychiatry fellowship programs include geriatrics, child and adolescent psychiatry and psychosomatic medicine."

Impressive! so...

Oh wait, you were a psychologist?

Never mind.

Nice to hear that there are apparently quite a lot of psychologists /neuroscientists /psychiatrists playing eve. I always had the impression that about one third of eve players were employed by the military, the other third had IT jobs and the last third were professional slackers.
I work in a field where the vast majority of my clients happens to have antisocial personality disorder, and a large part of those guys also play video games regularily.
None of them plays eve, though- unlike what people keep whining here, I don't think that eve actually caters to antisocial people. These guys usually act on impulse, are rather impatient and want instant gratification in a game- eve requires too much ahead-planning and social interaction for them to be successful.
Right now, most of my "little black sheep" are playing diablo III- take that as you will.

And some of us are, or have been, all three. Sometimes all three at the same time.

Nice work, when you can get it.
