I doubt that engineering and science majors have this prob at all. I see liberal arts degrees all over the place for one reason. The courses are simple, don't require math and leave you plenty of time for partying. The kids coast, graduate... then find out their degree isn't worth much.

I took 18 to 22 units every quarter. There was no time to party. Mornings started on campus at 7 AM (after a 25 mile drive) to teach my physics class. The day usually ended around 11 PM as I was wrapping up work in the biochem labs. In between I had multiple lectures to attend and a little time to track down food. UCSD didn't have much to offer on campus between 1974 and 1976. A drive down to Clairemont to eat at the Jack-in-the-Box was my usual solution...or a brown bag lunch. I looked forward to a late lunch of teriyaki chicken with my biochem prof on Wednesdays. There was a grill near the Revelle Provost Office that was open a couple days each week.

You were a science major, right? Liberal arts doesn't require all the courses you mentioned.... so I'm not sure what your point was... :)
