    Ok, that'd make sense. The first of the class was launched last May.
    There is no genuine justice in any scheme of feeding and coddling the loafer whose only ponderable energies are devoted wholly to reproduction. Nine-tenths of the rights he bellows for are really privileges and he does nothing to deserve them. We not only acquired a vast population of morons, we have inculcated all morons, old or young, with the doctrine that the decent and industrious people of the country are bound to support them for all time.-Menkin

    I went to the Pensacola Jr. College.. BS in Business Admin.. I currently do not use a bit of my education.. I am still doing what I was to put me through college to begin with.. (Slangin Beer's) Actually I was offered a management position at work, but to be honest with you it would be a huge paycut plus 10x the responsibility and headache..

    No offense intended, but reading that defense of the IT industry I couldn't help but imagine Jimmy Fallon playing "Nick Burns: Your Company Computer Guy" from SNL :D

    The stereotype is perpetuated everywhere.

    I took "Intro to Massage" for my PE credit :D

    It was always fun going to class once a week and partnering up with some sorority hottie and getting a message for 30min. and then returning the favor :p

    High speed logistics support. It's whole purpose is connect carrier battle groups to their support bases and make sure they don't run out of missles/bombs/torpedos/spare parts/gas/food/etc...

    I took Yoga for my PE credit. It was also fun watching sorority hotties bending in fun positions for two hours a week. :D
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    Ah. I see. I'd tell you more about what we've already done on that at work but, I can't.

    We had to do a PE101 crap course that introduced different things every week. On week was Tai Chi and another power napping.

    John: That's about all I can tell you about the ship as well. We also did a lot of work on the manufacturing of the B-2 Spirit as well, but again, that's about all we can say.

    Wow! I got lucky then! Pennsylvania didn't require the PE courses for graduation until my Junior year(4th year, Drexel has 5 classes, Freshman, Sophomore, Pre-Junior, Junior and Senior). Drexel didn't care about PE courses and only offered them as electives. Since I was already in my 4th year, PA grandfathered those of us who hadn't taken a single PE course so we didn't have to take 8 courses of PE our Junior and Senior years. I graduated without ever setting foot in a PE waste of time class! WOOHOO!

    My freshman year roommate was even more brave and took "Swedish Massage" where they used oils every week. :eek:

    But from our conversations it seemed liked the hotter girls were in my class :cool:

    I'm in for a BA in Film. I'll probably focus on producing. It is nice to watch movies for homework :)

    This has been pretty interesting to read through. However, none of it has helped me decide what in the world I wanna do. :(

    I think I'm pretty much gonna end up taking a TON of classes at this community college before transferring....

    Electronic and Mechanical engineering along with a strong background in physics. Then you can design speakers, amps and such :D

    Oulu Institute of Technology, BS in Robotics. Class of '96. Never worked a day directly in that field, chose software engineering instead. I have thought of getting Masters in CS but after 10 years I really don't see the benefits outweighting the negatives.
