some post about degrees

[cringleman]

As far as my Davies comment, I'm sure you're familiar with hyperbole.

 

You will do a large amount of work in Engineering because you are required to to pass. I will do a large amount of work in Biology because I love it. If you like friends, though, I'd highly recommend that you don't tell anyone that you work harder than they do: I spent 14 consecutive days, without breaks, working for 14 hours every day, getting paid about $5 an hour -- because it seemed an experience pertinent to my studies and my interests.

 

How is that relevent? It's not! No examples of how much any single person does is really relevent to any of this -- as with everything, you'll get out of school what you put into it. The folks doing no work on your floor will get little in return from their studies. If you work lots, you'll get lots.

 

It should really be left at that.

 

I'm not going to argue about this anymore, either, because it's silly. To continue would be a mere pissing contest. Even if you do do more work than all of us, and every other person in any other area of study, was does that matter? If you're complaining, you should find something to study that you don't need to complain about. If you're trying to tell us that engineering requires a higher intellect or work ethic than another programme, then that's just arrogance.

 

If I express any more opinions in this thread, it will be in haiku form. That seems more fitting.

 

Edit: Apologies, re-reading the beginning of the thread, perhaps you're taking sciences, right now, ecnarf. It's all the same.

Yes, I'm bowing out. I've made my points, Ecnarf at this point is grasping at straws, considering he's been rebutted by everyone.

Good plan, even I rebuttled him...

 

Kirk, we should gather up all the women we know and have a sexy party! JTB, Garsk and Sparq can join as well...seeing how you guys are single, I just be the host/bartender and watch the show.

 

Now where can we find the sexy single ladies...?

Not in engineering.

 

P.S. I give up.

[little miss sunshine]

I'm pretty sexy! Lets go!

[ecnarf]

...to a university with a faculty of pharmacy!

[Shiri]

I like geeky sexy girls.

I like geeky sexy girls.

Me too ;)

You're more than welcome to come to my science labs with me. Everyone looks good in a lab coat.

[Lauren]

that's not true. this guy on my floor was walking to a class and he had a labcoat on and he was still ugly. it ruined my morning.

[Shiri]

I don't think I've ever seen a girl in a labcoat except on TV's ER and etc.

word. doubly so if they wear dark-rimmed glasses.

[little miss sunshine]

OMG, I'm geeky and sexy! And I own a lab coat! If my camera wasn't broken, I would take pics!

Now, Beth, don't try too hard...

 

I walked home from my bio lab with my lab coat on. It sure makes you feel smart.

[Lauren]

and makes you look dorky. in a not sexy way.

[borntohula]

i have, but i work in a hospital.

[ecnarf]

No, it makes me look sexy, in a dorky way.

[Shiri]

ER had some fine sexy doctors in it. Well, not a lot but there were a few with a lab coat I wouldn't mind examining me.

[ecnarf]

TV doctors are always better than real life doctors.

 

TV doctors are less creepy.

[little miss sunshine]

Yeah, there aren't that many sexy doctors at the hospital I'm at. The pharmacists are WAY hotter.

[ecnarf]

You don't have to tell me. ;)

Just to add something to the original topic:

 

It's a hard fact that some programs graduate more people then there are jobs for. Engineering is no exception. At my university we graduate far too many EPs. If you throw out the market demand for a degree then all fields equalize, end of story.

 

btw ;)
