Real Haight Ashbury stuff.
Practical majors are dull and boring anyway. I was a philosophy major. Although highly academic, it was anything but boring!
And I ended up making 120K a year. So much for "practical majors." Business schmizness.
Besides, if you don't major in something you have an aptitude for and interest in, you won't make it through a major anyway--you will pay with your GPA (huh huh).
Accountants go blow. Bunsen burners just glow.
Adios amigos!
