What your major says about you

Well, I’m currently an English major, but I’m not a caffeine addict (yet). I had a cup of tea and some orange slice today (a friend got me the tea, and i had the slice at lunch). I thought about being an art major though… I don’t hate my parents, they’re just an embarrassment because they’re too normal.

Ah, well, THAT is true! But I had a housemate who was a soc. major, and her course of studies was nothing at all like mine.

Actually, everyone who finds out I was an anthropology major asks if I’m going to go start digging things up. Er, no.

Hmmm…crouching on my knees under a hot sun, brushing dirt away with a toothbrush. For some reason, this doesn’t actually sounds enjoyable. How odd.

Chemists?
Biochemists?
Molecular Biologists?

Well, the last two are definitely “well, at least I’m not [insert other major here]”.

Heh… I’m a criminology major who wants to double it with Sociology… I just want to give myself a better chance at finding interesting work, plus I’ll most likely pursue a masters in Sociology if I can. I’m still not entirely sure what I want to do with it yet.

Classic… I’ve just finished the first year of my BA, double-majoring (probably) in Political Studies and either Spanish or European Languages.

This means I go out, get drunk and spend the next few hours talking about Communism, Capitalism, who’s going to win the next election, yaddahyaddahyah…

…and then, when people don’t agree with me, I insult them in another language. Especially if they’re engineers, as too many of my friends are, whereby I can say ‘silence. You have no soul’

…oh, and I’m delightfully unemployable…go the Arts…

It’s all coming up Millhouse.

The engineering tee shirt reads - I like to fiddle with things, I like to make money, I have no fashion sense.

ecologists - want to wear cutoffs and birkenstocks in the snow (this is THE way to tell an ecologist from an environmental engineer - the engineer will be wearing warm clothing and hiking boots) ((may be slightly out of date)) (((for the ecologist - I’m up to date on the environmental engineers)))

Ooooh, what about me, being a Computer Science and Humanities dual major?
Oh, and Daowajan, you think you can out-self-caffeineate me?!?! Bwahahahaha! I laugh at the thought!

How about a “History and Philosophy of Science” major? It would have to be the most pointless (vocationally) of all courses. The only thing you could do with it would be to teach HPS at Uni…or write a text to instruct other poor HPS students. There are no jobs out there for Philosophers or Historians of Science, well not in my employment pages of the Saturday paper anyway.

But I love it. :smiley: It’s, well, just so mundane and pointless that it’s interesting. It’s also impossible to describe to anyone else what it is that I actually DO. I like that. They think I must be terribly clever, 'cos they don’t understand my descriptions…bwahahaaaaaa

And what about when you tell someone you are doing an Arts degree, and they then coo about how creative you must be to be able to paint/draw/sculpt so well? Thats ART numbnuts. ArtZ is what you do when you want to graduate with a first class honours degree in Unemployment. :wink:

You know what guys, when you’ve chased No-Doz with a pot of Industrial Sludge coffee then lets talk about self-caffeinating.

What is sad is when your body is past caffeine, that it won’t do anything for you. Then you start cursing the day decades ago you had your first cup of coffee.

Shit, brujo, you think I haven’t done that? And you actually think that that caffeine dose will affect me? You’re talking to the person who can eat an entire box of penguin mints and two or three red bulls in an hour or so, and feel no caffeine-rush to speak of.

[/pissing contest] :wink:

how about two vivarin and a cup of gas station coffee?

i had to pull off the road about 40 minutes later because i had a panic attack. :smack:
