You can follow any interest on a path through all knowledge. Interest connections form the singular path to learning. It doesn’t matter what path you choose or where you begin your journey. A person can be interested in horses or the concept of time and can make connections to other bodies of information.
Someone who’s interested in cars could move into a fascination with the Porsche and the German Language or the physics of motion or the growth of cities and the pattern of movement and defense or the chemistry of fuels. Various cars are made by various countries that have different languages and histories. Studying Italian automotive design, you can gain entry into the study of roads, the Appian Way, the plan of and the history of transportation itself.
The idea that you can expand one interest into a variety of other interests makes your choices less threatening. You can jump into a subject at any level and not only can you follow the subject to greater levels of complexity but you can follow it to other subjects.

When I was in the Polytechnic, I was interested in serving the underprivileged people in Welfare Homes. From there, I learn about human psychology, Maslow's hierarchy of needs, leadership and even improved my writing skills in English.
However, I would say that it worked nicely because of the complementary structured syllabus taught by my lecturers, which was actually civil engineering, but nevertheless sets the exercising for thinking and learning, and also abstract subjects that I may not have done otherwise.
