I’m definitely with kk on this one…

Normally I wouldn’t comment, but I found the second post above this one so appalling that I had to say something. Jealousy? Please, leave your elementary school playground retorts for where they belong. Also, your insinuations that communications majors are more “fun and charismatic” than students in other schools are, quite frankly, bordering on ignorance. Do you honestly believe that you will be any more able to “relate to society” simply because you took a course or two on argumentation or public speaking? The fact of the matter is, WCAS majors are undoubtedly more academically rigorous than communications majors (though from what I take it you would rather take a fun and easy course that you can “use” in social functions). You speak of representing the public’s wants and needs. Yet how do you expect to make a difference simply by representing these needs? The people you will need to actually execute these “wants and needs” will be the scientists, engineers, and cancer researchers you so shamelessly shun aside.

Is it necessary to diss majors on public message boards? Certainly not. But you, my friend, have managed to do so to countless other majors within WCAS and engineering within your own post.
