<p>Q: Which college majors make you have higher regard for someone?</p>

<p>None of them. If I meet a MIT aeronautical engineering major, for example, but he's a spineless prick who hates everyone and, in general, has a bad personality I'm still not going to be impressed by him.</p>

<p>Intelligence, while important, isn't all that makes a person good. That fact seems to be SORELY overlooked on this website. I would have higher regard for a social worker in Africa who works with orphaned children than I would for the a-hole MIT AE major, hands down.</p>

<p>If you don't already know that there's more to life than what you major in/where you go to college, you may wanna rethink.</p>

<p>(Just my two cents)</p>

<p>Wasn't Socrates a teacher?</p>

<p>I hate that word. Prestigious. So hollow...</p>

<p>It's really sad how people care too much of how people and society views them as.</p>

No. Read the Apology. Socrates did not consider himself a teacher because he didn't get paid, and he claimed not to recruit followers.</p>

<p>Socrates taught, but didn't get paid like the Sophists were.</p>

<p>Paid or not, if you are teaching others, you are a teacher.</p>
