Accounting is the most lucrative non-science/engineering degree

I'd rather die than be like Asher. I can barely imagine what it would like to be to live an unexamined life, devoid of real beauty, art or thought.

I guess he'll say he will think about that when he's playing Doom IV at some Caribbean resort.

I guess my response would be "so will I... I can't imagine anything worse – except perhaps attending a line dance."

If it makes it any better, I would rather die than be a fat, balding man teaching about Plato to a bunch of disinterested Freshman wanting an easy GPA booster.

My life is anything but devoid of real beauty, art, or thought. It's just that my ideals of all of those differ greatly from yours. You're the kind of person who lives life in the past, I'm the kind that looks to the future.


Stick to teaching Plato, I'll stick to making people's lives better through my work.

I feel like I'm going places, I have a lot to do in my life. I look at you and I feel that you're already done. You'll be stuck teaching at a University for the rest of your life, with your wife that you tease about, and the girls that you oggle online but have no chance with. You've got decades of monotony ahead of you.

Basically, few people are interested in doing those jobs, there is a high demand, and thus high salaries.

Eh, a lot of people are interested in a lot of the stuff on there - but they aren't capable of doing it.

To be honest, I don't see how your link defined the concept of measurement at all.

Having two words per line isn't the greatest idea when you are trying to explain a concept

It defined the measurement of correlation.

What engineering degrees take longer than 4 years?

IIRC Co-op versions-- memorial Uni of NL for one. I could have sworn that some Honors science programs required a 5th year and a Pharmacy program or two ( but thats kile law IIRC in that you usually need some uni to get in)

And fine, a LLB is technically a "Bachelor or Laws" degree, but it's still not a real Bachelor's degree in that you can get it after high school with 4 years...

I don't know what you mean by "technically" since there are Bachelors, masters and doctorate like the other degrees. A law degree is just like any degree that requires a higher standard to get in. I believe that physio, speech pathology, medical school and others have similar standards ( something more than high school) Its not a rare type of standard. If its not a "real " degree, what is it ??

Its actually a pain in a way since law students didn't qualify for "graduate student housing etc "when I was in uni. They may have changed that . . .

Yes, but it's illegible for the layman.

Heck, I've done all of this **** (my dissertation relied on statistical correlations) but I couldn't even understand the website's definition of mean

You've been doing a good job of fooling Apolyton then. I mean that materialist vulgarity seems to be your mission in life.

I guess you justify this to yourself by means of this facile relativism you're always espousing. But that's always the first excuse of those who are too lazy to work to appreciate the fine.
