- dnautics 10y agoI've thought of that more of a serious thought than a joke. At my college we had a joke that physics majors washed out and became math majors (because the faculty were assholes); math majors washed out and became philosophy majors (because they couldn't handle rigor); and philosophy majors washed out and became anthropology majors (because they couldn't handle homework)
