I don't know about Jack's opinion, but at my father's urging I looked hard
and long at the engineering curriculum in college -- and ran screaming in
terror back to the college of liberal arts.

I don't know how anyone could survive in that school -- but my hat's off to
those who could.

What is so hard about it? Study 80-100 hours a week and it's a piece of
cake! Kind of like running a hotel. :-)

Yeah, but the kids in engineering schools didn't have any form of "love
life" in school (and many still don't), not so with those in Hotel
Management.

Love life? What is that?? :-)

Think that was bad, give any of the Physics (real science) schools a try.

Actually, physics classes were some of my most enjoyable and least
difficult classes, including Atomic and Nuclear Physics. I didn't take
any graduate level physics, so maybe that is harder. My EE classes were
much more difficult that physics. Chemistry was the worst as it was
just so boring. :-) Although, my work-study job was in the chemistry
lab and that was a hoot. I learned more chemisry working in the lab
than I ever did in class and it was much more fun. The professor who
supervised the lab was great and taught me a lot while I was working.
