Accounting is the most lucrative non-science/engineering degree

No, it's a graduate degree. Just like a PhD is.

Duh.

Do you want to continue making a fool of yourself?

No, but I am fine making you look like a fool.

You can have a PhD in Law. That is not the same as being a Lawyer with a Law Degree. Do you even remember what PhD means?

GePap, sweetie, you're possibly being as silly as I've ever seen you be.

I really want to know why you think it would be useful to compare 4 years of postsecondary education in one field with 8 years of postsecondary education in another field.

You can get a Masters of Law and a PhD in Law, on top of a regular LLB.

According to GePap it makes sense to compare a 4 year degree in engineering with somebody who does a 4 year degree in liberal arts and then spends another 4 years getting a law degree.

Man, are you thick.

And yes, those are comparable, because in the end, someone is working a job they had 4 years fo training for (actually, most Law schools are three years). That one person spent 4 extra years outside of the job market studying something that has 0 correlation to their end career is their choice.

Or would you claim that someone who studied Liberal arts for 4 years, then egineering for 4 years would have on average a higher income than someone who just did 4 years of engineering, sans the Liberal Arts degree?

Stop focusing on the title.

Start focusing on the years of schooling...

That is the point, you're just elegantly dancing around it like an elephant.

This is a comparison of 4 years of schooling at the Bachelor's Degree level.

If you want, there can also be an 8-years of schooling comparison including Lawyers, Doctors, and PhDs in Engineering. But that's not what this list is.

Yes, you can. That is my point, now isn't it?

It's a retarded point made by people who are missing the point.

I don't care what their title is.

No...are you being deliberately rude and offensive? Actually, don't answer that.

Thankyou for the link to all the pretty pictures though. Of course I didn't actually understand any of it, not enough bright colours and loud noises to get through to me.

So no, I am not being deliberately thick, but I am happy to be boosting your ego for a few minutes.

Oh, precious. You're so cute when you get defensive.

So you're arguing that the original Bachelor of Arts was completely useless? Funnily enough, I agree with you.

Or would you claim that someone who studied Liberal arts for 4 years, then egineering for 4 years would have on average a higher income than someone who just did 4 years of engineering, sans the Liberal Arts degree?

And the day that law schools begin accepting large numbers of students directly from secondary school is the day that I'll agree a law degree should be compared with any other undergraduate degree. As it stands, though, admissions departments look very unfavourably on such applicants, so choosing to take a law degree means 7 years of postsecondary education instead of 4.

Wait, so if I get my bechelors degree in 6 years I am bound to make more money than someone who stupidly rushed their bachelors in 3? Cause its all about the years of schooling, as opposed to having A degree, right?

Also, why are you guys intent on thinking Law Degree's take 4 years? Its 3 years folks, 3.

Now, if I were to open a Law school with an added year of writing training at the begnning, with the very same curriculum as any other law school and gave out the same Law Degree, would this still be a "graduate degree"?

If you can't understand the idea behind a measurement then it's useless to discuss the measurement with you.

Good God, GePap. This is exactly why people like you are on the bottom of that list.

If you could get a law degree in a 4-year program after high school like the rest on these list, it would be acceptable to include it. Since you can't, it's not included.

It doesn't matter if you take 6 years to do a 4-year program, that's not the point.

It also doesn't mater that Law takes 7 years (you could probably do a PhD in Engineering in 7 years also).

The point is it's not a fair comparison -- you're comparing someone with 4 years of schooling to someone with 7 years of schooling. It's a corrupt comparison on its face, it should not be included in this list.

So your arguement is not based on the nature of the degree, but the behavior of admissions departments? Wow, stellar arguement.

Oh, and I am still interested in the answer to my question: would a person with an engineering degree what happened to get a liberal arts degree before expected ot make more than someone who just studied engineering? casue your point seems to based simply on year counting.

No, it's about the amount of schooling required. We're talking about years of school based on a full-time workload devoted to a definite goal.

It is extraordinarily difficult to reach a law degree in less than 7 years. Virtually no students are accepted without a prior undergraduate degree. Therefore we must count the undergraduate degree as part of the workload involved in getting the law degree.

Feel free to keep spinning though.
