Regarding the advice you requested from him concerning what studies you
should specialize in with a view to teaching in the future: He would suggest
either History, Economics or Sociology, as these are not only fields in which
Bahá’ís take a great interest but also cover subjects which our teachings
cast an entirely new light upon. Your knowledge would be of use to the Cause
in teaching it in the future, and you could also perhaps introduce the Bahá’í
ideas into your lectures as an educator.
