I thought this was interesting and Freepers might get a kick/laugh out of it. Look at number 1 major requiring the least amount of study and number 5.

Good on you for staying on top of him through HS. I'm working hard to be sure that WBill Jr doesn't make the same mistakes I made. I'm sure that he'll make different ones, though.
And as for grades - phew. I'd not have wanted to pull A's and B's through college to keep a scholarship. That's a hard hill to climb. I had a hard enough time maintaining a 2.7 . But - then again - I've only had one place ask me what my GPA was, in 25-odd years. (It was a gov't think tank, and they were looking for a 3.8 or better. "Never Mind." :-) )
Well, no surprises there. I think it funny that the no-load majors decided classes were “challenging”, but then, that’s probably more a measure of the students than the curriculum.
Next time, look her in the eyes when you talk with her..(higher...) If there is that deer-in the headlights look at the mention of anything technical, she just might not be right for you.
I have to laugh, because it is true. Junior certainly spent more time in the books than I did. He's taking the summer off. Well deserved.
However... he's making up for lost time this summer in terms of running the roads. Maybe a little too much partying with buddies. I'm not over-the-top concerned about this (really it's minimal compared to my freshman exploits), except that he knows I'll kill him if he drives while drinking. The boys seem to have a little group of girls that are perfectly happy serving as DD.
His MOTHER on the other hand... well, if she catches him stumbling in, then woe be upon him. He's on his own in that event. My loyalty to my son only goes so far.
“She was attractive and had big boobs. I learned a lot from that. I could never again be married to someone that simple minded.”
But what about big boobs? Would you ever marry again for the big boobs?
Just kidding. My ex had big boobs too ... and they cost me everything.
My wife is a little looser with him - but she backs me up. I just don't think that she understands that teenage boys need to know *exactly* where the line is. They'll walk right up to it (Lord knows that I danced all overtop of the line!!) but won't cross.

Big boobs can be expensive. I learned the hard way too.

I am going to write this one down. It might save me a lot of heartache and money in the future.
You’re talking in generalities. Specifically what schools have on their SCHEDULE (not their catalog) environmental econ that deals with the global warming hoax? Which specific economist (or group) are you referring to in your last sentence?
As I stated: just because there’s idiots like Krugman doesn’t mean the whole discipline is shameful. Look at Walter Williams and Thomas Sowell.
My son is an economics major at Texas A&M. There are 2 degree plans: a bachelor of arts or the more math rigorous bachelor of science.
