It’s simple really: major in engineering. Eng. prof are for the most part apolitical nerds, and 2+2=4 no matter what anyone’s ideology is.

When will you engineer types get it into your heads that not everyone can do the course work in any field of engineering. Not by far. One Freeper wrote the other day that no more than 15% of students can handle the mathematics.

If you think it's just a matter of curriculum course choice. may I suggest that you go into nuclear physics? And oh yes, shoot for the Phd.

What makes you think I’m not shooting for the PhD? And yeah, the math is not easy, but seeing what passes for a work ethic among the typical undergrad, I conclude it’s a lack of persistence rather than a lack of raw talent that defeats most of them. STEM majors work hard for it, and have to forgo some of the vomiting and STD’s that seem to be part of the modern liberal arts curriculum. As a fringe benefit, our profs tend to keep their ideology, whatever it may be, mostly to themselves.
