Me too. I personally am glad I took extra Spanish in college(tested out of required) because I use it when I travel, which maybe Hatt will do if he ever gets money. Referring to "math" in the context of college worries me a bit. I mean, what kind of "math" is getting taught to college kids these days? I know I was in a different situation on a pre-med track, but even my poli sci/business/econ major friends referred to whatever math they were required to take as statistics this or calc that or logic whatever and it was not easy or dumbed down for non-science majors.

Thinking you are going to graduate with a piece of paper after cake walking through college and get rich one day is delusional. It doesn't matter if it is some type of science, language or mathematics: the lesson is in figuring it out, and if you can't figure it out or won't put an effort into trying, you will likely not be able to figure out what to do or how to get rich.

I feel sorry for Kyle. I milked college to the max, but admittedly had a very different sounding experience than you guys that I will chalk up to luck (and my parents desire that I have such an experience). It was the second best experience of my life and I don't think a day goes by that I don't reminisce...
