"Then again, I'm sure engineers are required to take some real waste-of-time courses to get their degree."
Like the Freudian(sexual) analysis of Shakespeare's sonnets, a government course taught by an Argentine leftist b**ch who thinks Castro and Mao were the greatest leaders ever, a business course taught by an idiot who thinks taxes were the greatest thing ever invented, and socialist indoctrination class disguised as a writing class. This was a smaple of wht engineering/science students had to endure at UT Austin in the 1970's. God only knows what kind os BS classes are required now!
Same for us Architects, too. I argued aginst having to take the BS courses to no avail.
