In college we had a joke:
Those who study engineering learn to ask "how does that work?".
Those who study the sciences learn to ask "why does that work?"
Those who study account learn to ask "how much will that cost?"
Those who study liberal arts learn to ask "do you want fries with that?"
This is a bit self-serving, it having come from an engineering school (where I was a CS student), but there's some truth in there.
- maximumwage 17y agoNot everyone has the mathematical intelligence, willpower, mental health, and emotional stability required to make it through an engineering, science, or even business degree. In addition, many students feel they have to go to college just to get a job. For those reasons (and others) many students end up studying for a liberal arts degree. What should those students be doing instead?
