<p>SCO, I think there are some people here who know they are pretty smart and will do what they can to let you know that. I don’t like that personality quality either, but I don’t think it’s that widespread. My general advice would be to avoid philosophy majors, but as I write that five or six awesome, “unpretensious” philosophy majors come to mind, so I can’t say that :-)</p>
<p>Phuriku, I guess it depends how you define pseudo-intellectual. Some students are more dogged in intellectual pursuits than others, but I think that everybody I’ve met enjoys what they do in school and most don’t have inflated egos.</p>
