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.

The engineering professors were once mostly conservative, but no more: the lure of federal and foundation grants has changed their thinking. Meanwhile, American students have little opportunity with eigineering degrees, for the employers prefer to hire lower-paid foreign nationals. The American people don’t get it.

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.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

That's not so simple. Two things are needed to succeed if one chooses engineering:

1) Adequate math foundation. Few students are getting this in our socialist K-12 schools. Personally, I would not be surprised if large numbers of college students could not add and subtract mixed fractions or define the meaning of the word, “numerator”.

2) Adequately high enough IQ.

Few socialist school teachers have either an adequate math background or IQ to do engineering, yet, these are the people licensed to teach the nation's children. Real engineers with high IQs and excellent math backgrounds aren't licensed to teach.
