Your poll is flawed. I'll agree with NJ. I also LOL'ed at your changing the question in the thread.

How is this poll flawed? It's a pretty simple question.

It helps to read the thread. I, among others, have shown how it is flawed. It is either purposely or accidentally set up in a manner that will yield in a meaningless aggregate result.

He clearly worded it to get a certain result. Plus, the title of the thread and the question contained within the thread are two completely different questions.

I guess you two are seeing something I'm not. Agree to disagree I guess.

I went to study something that really interested me. I hoped it would turn into a career in that field. But, of course it was also expected.
