Rj is getting the MBA.  Melvin has a Bach in some kinda Christian stidues I believe.  Prince claimed a masters in English but chooses to work the counter at Maxx and schlep paperwork for the better half.  Chic got a crim justice degree (?) and was a cop until he discovered his love for synthetic testosterone.

These days, it seems everybody who receives a degree is allowed this designation ie. with praise; so it is no great distinction, Einstein. Those who truly distinguish themselves may receieve 'magna' or 'summa.'  :)

true, degrees in the hard sciences (biology, chemistry, physics and all related subjects) are 100 times more challenging academically than degrees in the arts and humanities (at least based on my experiences)

I got my degree in biology but minored in philosophy.

don't get me wrong - I LOVED philosophy, but it was babyfood compared to my bio and chem courses.

It does matter where one went to college or university. A Harvard, Yale or Berkeley degree is worth more than one from some small 'unknown' college somewhere.

Larry Scott did engineering and Frank Zane has a MA. A couple of the men and women who were at the top in bodybuilding were doctors. I don't consider chiropractors in the same category as medical degrees.

People are good at various things. Some might excell at biological sciences while others might be good at history and philosophy. Those making a judgement about such things probably haven't been to recognized universities.

Some subjects attract the duller students. Religion and agriculture used to be magnets for the not so clever. Education students are not as bright as engineering students. To get a degree one has to pass and that doesn't always require high intelligence. I doubt a knucklehead could obtain a PhD or MD. I do know of one person who is a sculptor and he 'obtained' a PhD by sending in some thesis. I had to laugh because that is a mail-order degree for sure.

Did you take Quantative Analysis and General Physics?  Class avgs were like 60% on a curve.  I doubled Bio and Chem.  Also took Parasite Bio, and chicks would leave class crying after exams.

I did not take quantitive analysis. I took General Phyics in first year, and it was brutal because we were expected to know certain techniques of integration and differentiation (ie integration by parts and partial derivitives) that we had not learned in first year calculus yet :(

Class average in gen. phyics was a D+

In first year bio it was a D.

I still cannot figure out why they never curved anything.

Personally, I found first and second year to be total "weed out" years.

Advanced cell bio and organic chem being classic examples of these.

 Personally, I found third and fourth years to be no harder in terms of academic difficulty than first and second years. I guess "university level" is university level, no matter what the year.  But the volume of work required and the speed of the course in these was double or triple that of the first year..

I did a college post grad diploma program after and it was a breeze.

As Matt will tell you, here in Canada, "community college" is a peice of cake compared to our Universities. University is very difficult by comparison.

Colleges in canada do not grant degrees, only diplomas, although many now have joint programs with local universities in which they can be offered by doing courses on both campuses at both levels.
