My favorite (three typos/misspellings in two words is tough to do): "M.Eng Techical Enterperneurship (BS Supply Chain Managem)" What's the standard here? 39 guys per weight is equivalent to half the D1 starters. (Obviously, a lot of these are D1 competitors that weren't necessarily starters at the end. Still, aren't academic honors usually reserved for the 'creme de la creme'?)

JeanGuy Posted April 2 Posted April 2 I try not to judge anyone's course of study. Everybody wants to do something different. I wish I would have done something different. I have been a professional engineer for 30 years and have never loved a single day of it. Enjoy your education as long as you understand that majoring in Latin isn't going to help you pay down any debt you incur.

I am curious to see what the criteria are. Seems like you should at least be a starter with a winning record and solid academics. I saw Younger and Echemedia are listed with Non Degree Seeking as their "major". Some teams having very few (NC State with 1) is strange too 1
ionel Posted April 2 Posted April 2 When your major is: Non Degree Seeking isn't that kind've like nonothingatall? .

Le duke Posted April 3 Posted April 3 The humanities usually get sh*t on in these discussions, but it really depends on where you're at. Philosophy at Harvard is no joke.Most of the people in my wife’s (top-15) law school class were humanities majors. Turns out, being able to read, comprehend and respond in a written or verbal format is still a good skill to have.I’m constantly amazed at “engineers” who can’t read or write…at all.

Mr. PeanutButter Posted April 3 Posted April 3 Hell yeah James Conway! Biochem was one of my majors in college. There are some impressive young men on that list (and others that seem to be mailing it in, unfortunately) 1

My Latin teacher at a rural public high school got her masters from Notre Dame… I mean props to her for passing it on to the next gen but it just seemed like a waste of education to me at the time Edited April 3 by elijedi06

But, let me get this straight: You cant (couldn't?) see any reason why a student who went to Notre Dame might find Latin kinda important? Idk. Maybe Vatican II changed more than I thought.

Nah I get why she thought it was important but I didn’t understand going to such a prestigious school to become a high school teacher making pennies, but I also understand money isn’t everything and she seemed to enjoy her job i guess the thing that bothered me most is I went to a “classical” school for elementary and the Latin classes were much harder even though the teacher was self taught and also taught our math, history, and bible classes. It was sort of a one room schoolhouse kind of vibe 3rd-5th grade all together. It made it easy breezy once I got to public school though 1
