<p>Good input -thanks. and drusba, noting how expectations and desires may vary across students was an intellectually honest reply on top of your reporting of the nuts and bolts requirements.</p>
<p>How many classes would 18 hours translate to?</p>
<p>Curiously, the day after I made this thread, yesterday, a construction company was digging up the street I live to put into water main. I approached the youngish looking guy on the cell phone overseeing this operation and asked where did he go to college and what degree did he get. He replied Urbana, civil engineering. Cool. A real live engineer and from UIUC, to boot. So I asked him the same question I posted and he said that he actually minored in business there. </p>
<p>He said he initially applied to / was in Gen ENG, then changed to Civil. HE also said that he has a buddy who went to uiuc who also majored iN GEN engineering and minored in business, but he went to work at the board of trade and has now made millionz of dollars he added with a smile.</p>
