<p>While we are stuck studying so much trying to understand engineering principles and science other people in other majors are out having fun all the time. What are some common majors that you see a lot of people majoring where they have all the fun. Personally I can't stand any communication major at my school because they are wasting 10K+ a year to learn how to speak. Plus I had an aunt who went to Case Western and major in communication. What a waste of time and money. Are there any other majors that you can relate to this.</p>
<p>P.S. I'll give business majors props because I was never good at business math.</p>
<p>You’re forgetting how useful a communication degree will be when they’re making “Will Work for Food” signs and you’re employed after graduation.</p>
<p>I think you should respect people regardless of majors.</p>
<p>I don’t really know what they study in communication, maybe some graphic design (that’s what I read from my school’s newspaper). But hack, maybe they have fun before you, and they work very hard behind the scene.</p>
<p>Whenever I see an art major doing some ridiculous lame-**** art, I can’t help but do a mental face palm thinking about how much they’re spending for OOS tuition.</p>
<p>I go to a University that has an agricultural history, so any time I hear or know of a person with any type of agricultural major I laugh. Their majors are so incredibly easy that all they do is party, and then upon graduation, they continue that streak as they have no job.</p>
<p>^Ag majors are able to do the party scene because they will be taking over the family business-farm.
They don’t need a job, they got a business.</p>
<p>LOL, something tells me that engineering majors could use a few required courses in communications.</p>
<p>keep telling yourselves that it’s your engineering major that keeps you from partying or going out… it has nothing to do with the fact that most engineering majors are so awkward they can’t even look you in the face when they talk to you. i don’t exactly imagine these people partying.</p>
<p>I think most engineers in their life time are put in enough situation where they don’t need to learn how to speak i.e. interview, presentation, organizations and clubs. I think we all can speak pretty well and know how to talk. We don’t need to know: first form a thought, then rationalize how a person will fill, then communicate. Umm FAIL. lol</p>
<p>I’m not saying we are all book worms with are heads stuck in the books what I’m arguing is that we don’t have merely as many opportunities to do so. </p>
<p>I have no idea what your really trying trying to state about looking people in the face.</p>
<p>No one is stopping you from switching majors and “having fun all the time.” You made a choice and those other individuals made their choices. Personally, I’d prefer if even more people majored in any areas other than Science/Engineering.</p>
<p>Engineering students are in college to acquire a profession. Most other majors are there for the 4 year vacation they are entitled to after high school.</p>
<p>Nutz4Bucks, you are extremely young and naive. Most engineers DO need to learn how to “speak,” because most of them are terrible at both written and oral communication. I have seen countless engineering resumes that were poorly written and made me think the authors had no idea what they were talking about. I’ve been to presentations where the engineering presenter ignored the composition of his audience, did not consider that we were not experts on the subject, and consequently the audience was lost in the opening minute of the presentation and asleep within the first five minutes. I’ve seen engineers stumble awkwardly during job interviews and basically make a fool of themselves as they struggle to respond to questions. Engineers, as a whole, are not that good at communicating.</p>
<p>PurdueEE: I’m hoping that at Purdue they have profession in the industry classes that will allow you to learn these communication skills because at Ohio State and other big ten schools (not putting down any other universities) they help to show you how to speak and communicate. I mean don’t you think it’s kind of foolish to major in communications. Ok you may be able to communicate better than anyone else but what are you going to speak about? </p>
<p>I’m not out to say how we need to learn how to communicate, I’m just saying take a step back and poke at the other majors, you know you want to.</p>
<p>just people trying to justify being the stereotypical engineering major introvert. oh yea and bonehead making the obligatory failed attempt at playing moderator.</p>
<p>I dont think that engineering is really as hard as people are making it out to be. I certainly didnt miss any fun in college by studying. I didnt get straight A’s, or even straight B’s, but my diploma says I graduated.</p>
<p>“I hope all engineers aren’t as arrogant and narrow-minded as most of the posters in this thread.”</p>
<p>I think most of us find 50K a year to have classes of pasting Popsicle sticks together silly. Not sure if that means I just know narrow-minded people, or what?</p>
