Chip on my shoulder

...I know I have a chip on my shoulder.  Well one one each.  Helps keep me balanced out.  One of them is this superiority complex about my Chemistry major that I had.  It was quite difficult.  Sometimes people complain to me, or tell me that they are having a tough time, or they don't enjoy the major they have because of how tough it is, and how much work, and I almost spit my scotch all over my laptop.

I know I'm a jerk.  My friends who had education majors already know about this.  As anyone who knows me would know, I wouldn't keep my opinion to myself.  My friends in political science majors also get no sympathy.  I took the same courses they did, while taking quantum mechanics, and fail to see where the challenge in their major lay.

I wonder why I am this way sometimes, but most of the time when I'm being good about biting my tongue, I figure that is a good enough start.  Considering America is falling behind the rest of the world in things that matter, mathematics, the sciences (not psuedosciences like psych) and engineering, I suppose I have a reason to be upset when people with majors that don't make us competitive with the rest of the world complain.  Anyway's, biting my tongue... its a running start for me.

    Thanks for not calling biology a pseudoscience. Also, I'm neither attractive nor female, but I'd totally go to the symphony with you.

    Jon,

    I think that it is time you piss more people off and publish your hierarchy of majors... that'll make for a great post!

    Also fix the time zone for your posts... apparently you are on Pacific time.

    Thanks for the Pacific time alert. I'll put some more thought into the heirarchy and completely solidify it. Some things I haven't given a shit about haven't been sorted out. For example, marketing above or below political science? Hard to say.
