The minor is required but it is just one extra math class and then I have a minor in mathematics.

yeah, i think it was 2 extra classes i would have had to take

Awesome degree, also you should go to Guam for 09 and 2010 just my two cents. Past that do you have any video footage of some storms this year?

looks like i probably won't be going on that volunteer deployment. since its outside of my cycle and manning will suck during that time frame. oh well.

nothing too exciting so far this year...just a lot of really windy stuff. and of course shit at night which you can't see anything, just hear the wind and my narrating when the tornado sirens went off :/

No he couldn't. Smart != knowing things and vice versa.

Do you ever intend to work?

Just finished a BA (Hons) in English Studies with Creative Writing. Studies = 50/50 split of Literature and Linguistics, meaning I get equal parts rote learning of fact and subjective interpretation of art and opinion.

Originally posted by Zild Strengths and weaknesses aren't what I was talking about. I was talking about the intrinsic difficulty of a specific program compared to others. Like comparing a physics degree to a degree in women's studies. I'm sure kids who failed out of the physics program are still more intelligent than A students in women's studies.

I studied maths, physics and chemistry to get into university (so I know the calculus and freshman chemistry/physics) and I'd definitely say they are harder than "soft" social sciences subjects. That said, I know people who can crunch numbers with natural ease but would have a breakdown if they had taken my degree. I'm in awe of their mathematical skills but I'm aware they'd really struggle with what I find easy. It all comes down to personal strengths.

You can't assume everyone is like you and what you find difficult correlates with the rest of the world. A philosophy degree is right next to Media Studies or some shite like that on the scale of blaggable degrees.

Oh, thanks.

Originally posted by enydo Oh, thanks.

Sorry man, but that's how I see it. I found the literature parts of my degree overly-blaggable: I've bullshitted my way through seminars without having bothered reading the primary text before. I can't see philosophy being much different.

Not a philosophy major (I agree with you on that), I'm a Computational Media major.

If you don't know what that is, go here: http://lcc.gatech.edu/compumedia/?page_id=9

I wasn't being completely serious, I do agree with you, but I think media studies in particular are becoming increasingly important in today's society, and will probably continue to do so.

Actually, maybe I'm misunderstanding what you mean by "media", who knows.

I've worked for 9 years, 6 of which was related to my degrees.

Media Studies here generally means a skin-deep look at the TV, film, music, radio, etc. industries. It's what's people who want to get into TV or radio generally take and, looking at the work of my friends who have taken it, it's the softest degree imaginable. Zild would probably vomit.

This would be the equivalent to our Journalism or Communications degrees. Yes, this has the same connotation. That it is basically a lazy approach to getting a degree basically.

Ah, well my degree is somewhat similar, although we're mostly just focused on using computers as a creative medium. It's a really broad major though and you can really specialize in whatever it is you want.

I disagree, some philosophy is quite difficult to understand due to the extreme abstract reasoning involved, try reading Heidegger, or Whitehead, oreven some ancient greek philosopher like Epicurus or Aristotle. It can get very difficult to understand and ifyou trully master it, you can develope extremely good reasoning skills. True, the "Hard sciences" can be very difficult but they don't make you more clever no matter what.

No, but they make you do something useful.

Well, thats true lol


Or make you think that you make something useful-thats another one!


Unless you go to medical school...well thats not considered "hard science" anyway...

yep and people who aren't clever won't ever finish in the first place... you have no idea how many people i know who used to be science majors who are now liberal arts/communications grads.


and most of those people were bio majors and we know getting a bio degree is a joke
