That's just bull****. Universities typically have "Colleges of Arts and

offerings any student who wants to take can take, assuming the pre-reqs
are met. Once you get past the typical freshman "101" stuff, you are
into the real thing.

In a top rated engineering school the freshman 101 courses are already
the real thing and students are expected to hit the ground running.
I suppose that is is wonderful if you want to be an engineer. Wait...you
went to a top-rated engineering school to become a bankster? What's that
old engineering school joke... "Before I went to engineering school, I
couldn't spell engineer...now I are one."
Bankstering...in the good old days in New England, white Protestant boys
with no particular skills went into banking because it was a white
collar job and they could wear a suit, and they didn't have to compete
with sharper, smarter Catholic and Jewish boys, for whom the banking
doors were mostly closed.
Were you at least a line officer at Citicorp or were you just a staff
puke with a title?
He's retired and lives on the water in Florida, has a nice boat, and goes on some really nice boating adventures.
Put away the ugly green monster, harry. It'll eat you up.
Oh, please...there's nothing about any of the righties here that makes
me even slightly jealous, least of all w'hine.
