<p>UB Vinny, i am glad you have no life and i am glad that you are a sorry joke. And how does working in It at merrill denote any correlation to being skilled with stocks and bonds. And why are you clumping bonds with mutual funds. Are they the same. If you are skilled in those things hooray, it shows you have no skill, rather you are a hard worker. </p>
<p>And may i ask what certifications did you receive before your job offer at ML</p>
<p>LMAO !!!!! bragging about 14 hours a day on weekdays and 18 hours on weekends. do you sleep? do you have friends? have you had a girlfriend ? </p>
<p>man the crazy stuff engineers do just to wind up unemployed anyways......</p>
<hr>
<p>Yes I have a Girlfriend, sure I have friends they are mostly engineering majors like myself, we study together alot and spend alot of time in the lab together. I usually go to bed around 4am and wake up at 8am. Then i take a shower go eat and either go study or go to class and after than I go and study. My school may not be top ranked but its hard, like i said I don't know anybody with above a 3.0. Surly I agree that those who don't need the studying time are great, but how rare is that in engineering. Its a problem solving major. You have to Study. and you need to study alot. I know alot of people who study the same as me or if not more. Like I said I took Intermediate accounting 1 & 2 my sophomore year of college and didnt study for it nearly as much as my engineering classes now. It was one of those subjects that I just read the chapter and that was it, got a very good grade. again yes it was intermediate accounting. you can say my school sucks but the WSJ doesn't think so in business rankings.</p>
<p>working at merril has no correlation to me knowing anything about stocks and bonds and things of that nature, my post did not suggest so either. I know about these things and did was before I worked at merril. I am just saying these things you guys are going to school for is things that average people do on a daily basis, its not to special. not that all business has to deal with these stocks and bonds and such, but lets say accounting, when I did my finances before i came to college I did pretty much the same calculations and process that I later learned had been given a name in accounting 2. so most of the stuff I just derived myself trying to do my own finances, i didn't need a accounting class. Most people don't. they only do if they want proper names given to things. Id say accounting is mostly just common sense.</p>

<p>What do you mean about being unemployed, engineers will always have a job, may not be the best job in the world or what we always want to do, but you will always have a job. Job outlook in my field is actually quite good.</p>
<p>Just curious, if you think working hard in academics is everything there is in life why don't you go get some PhD degrees? Or, what If I had 5 PhD degrees in math, engineering, science, etc. Should I come laugh in your face saying how academically unaccomplished you are, seeing that you're only an undergrad? </p>
<p>I don't understand why engineering majors brag about how "difficult" engineering is compared to buisness. In college, you study what you are interested in. Some majors are easier than others and that's how it should be. Besides, business is not always the easier major, compared to film studies or art history, for example.</p>
<p>"Just curious, if you think working hard in academics is everything there is in life why don't you go get some PhD degrees?"</p>
<p>Maybe he is? I'm guessing he is in UG</p>
<p>Academics are no were near as important as other things in my life. Its not that school is the most important thing its that it just takes a ton of work to be able to at least to mediocre in it. like I said, I study alot, but it takes all that studying just to get C+ and B's.</p>
<p>Id say Business would be easier than art history but maybe not film studies.</p>
<p>Business easier than art history? lmao.</p>
<p>This is coming from an engineering major, so you know he has an axe to grind with every other major, because they will never add up.
Accounting is definitely easier than art history. /sarcasm.</p>
<p>Oh well - he's talking about majors (business and art history) and he isn't one or the other.</p>
<p>well Ive take art history to fulfill m,y art requirement and I had some trouble memorizing the hundreds of paintings and the biographical information about all the artists.</p>
<p>And that somehow makes you an expert?</p>
<p>sure does, at least i have experience in both. and im not talking out of my ass about stuff i have zero experience in.</p>
<p>LOL. All you said was you had trouble with one art class for the art requirements...what's that say?
I don't think it means art history is tougher than business; I just think it means you have trouble with it. Memorization isn't that difficult - and that's what you said you had problems with.</p>
<p>Vinny, you have taken 1 intro class and that makes you an expert on the major? So, for those of us who have taken calc I and found it easy automatically know that engineering is an easy major?</p>
<p>T_T</p>
<p>UB Vinny,
I have taken intro to philosophy, calculus, advanced college writing, human reproduction and private vocal lesson (for credit) - all in one semester with a 3.7 GPA - and I am a business major. According to your logic, students majoring in business like myself are not only smart and well-rounded, but they will have attained the position of demigods when they graduate, as they will become "experts" in so many different areas of human expertise.</p>
<p>so sorry you have to work 14 hours and get a C on your physics pop quiz. suck it up and study more before you know what happens!</p>
<p>I have a great memory, at least i think so, I did have to study quite a bit to still get a B in art history and the class was easier than intermediate accounting 1 & 2. </p>
<p>what intoduction courses are you referring to. Art History was a 300 level course, Accounting was a 200 level course. I am no expert but my views are more important and well more valid as I have at least taken and experienced all of the classes talked about. some of you havent taken the classes, so how can you talk. </p>
<p>hupkorea what are you talking about, a 3.7 in those classes is not to impressive. sorry.</p>
<p>I thought you took Intermediate Accounting? Obviously you didn't because you took a 200 level course. I knew you were full of sh1t Vinny.</p>
<p>Um Intermediate is a sophomore level course.</p>
<p>"Id say Business would be easier than art history"</p>
<p>"I did have to study quite a bit to still get a B in art history and the class was easier than intermediate accounting 1 & 2."</p>
<p>What other business/art history classes have you taken?</p>
