  • The only reason people become Biology majors, to my knowledge, is to become doctors. The pre med track overlaps a lot with Bio. Plus bio is pretty easy so it will keep your GPA up for med school.

    And if you can't handle the Organic Chemistry, Cell Biology, Physics, etc., courses you can always fall back into something like Mechanical Engineering

  • How do you spot the marketing major?

    He is the guy in taco bell wearing a necktie.

    P s I see no reason to have moved this thread.

    I see topics here other than about barber shops.

    Including college football and the browns.

    For the record, I don't know why or how it got moved. I don't even work here.

    I understand what you are trying to get at, but that's not how it works...

    I was really not trying to get at anything. UNDER your skin, maybe, but in a pointless way.

    I tend to think John is on to something here. Four-hour organic chem labs have a way of weeding out the less-than-serious.

    They definitely do, no doubt. I would think that would get rid of the students that just think they will be doctors but have no drive for it.

    But I will never see biology as a harder major than mechanical engineering. Yes, I am biased, and yes John that got under my skin, but I don't see how that is true in anyway.

    Bio is not an easy major though, I'm not saying that. Being in the STEM family means it has to have some difficulty.

  • Computer science?

    Those degrees are pretty much junk by the time you get a 4 year degree.

    The ability to program at length, an excellent manner, in structured form, is probably okay.

    Whatever. I used to want to get a physician's assistant degree back in the day. But, then

    I was talked out of it - they said it would never really catch on. But genetics, etc. was fun.

    A good friend of mine daughter just graduated from the University of Minnesota Vet School.

    Talk there was that students that flunk out of Vet school become doctors.

    Computer Science covers a lot more than programming these days. IT and IET are usually considered computer science.

    Isn't that how all biased liberal reporters act?
