It makes me realize that when I really began thinking about this free will issue was many years ago when I read Skinner's "Walden Two." Written post WWII, as so many utopian novels seem to follow the "great" wars, I still recommend it as a good fictional read with a message. By the way you can download it here: http://www.enotes.com/walden-two-salem/walden-two 2) It reminds me of my undergrad class in Learning. Only I worked with a white rat (I named it Dorothy after Sesame Street Elmo's pet fish and I had it trained to do my house-cleaning by the end of the semester) instead of a pidgeon. Too bad so many undergrad psych programs do not have this class, it was invaluable. Hey Dennis, the skinner video on reinforcement and free will was great.

I know my first internship in college showed me that I didn't want to work in that industry. Sometimes just working at the school cafeteria can be the perfect fit for a student. It beats filing papers all day in a cubicle, and you usually get some free food! It’s somewhat rare for students to enjoy their jobs in college.
