Education
Weiner's first degree was in literature. With the success of his web strip, Weiner decided to go back to university to study science in order to satisfy his personal interests while also creating stress and creative ideas for his comics; initially planning on biochemistry, he opted to pursue physics. Weiner continues to produce SMBC, and fits it into his college schedule: he studies during the day and spends evenings on his strip.

Famous quotes containing the word education:
“I say that male and female are cast in the same mold; except for education and habits, the difference is not great.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Tell my son how anxious I am that he may read and learn his Book, that he may become the possessor of those things that a grateful country has bestowed upon his papa—Tell him that his happiness through life depends upon his procuring an education now; and with it, to imbibe proper moral habits that can entitle him to the possession of them.”
—Andrew Jackson (1767–1845)
“Those things for which the most money is demanded are never the things which the student most wants. Tuition, for instance, is an important item in the term bill, while for the far more valuable education which he gets by associating with the most cultivated of his contemporaries no charge is made.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
