Oh sure, getting a buisness degree is "a lot of work" compared to ... not getting any degree, but seriously.
Er... also the title is a reference to a popular commercial that was satirized in film by this year's first years. Yeah.[web][/web]

Well, high school classes can be very challenging. If you're 10. But it's no big deal. Most business majors can't even spell business right. In fact, most colleges that offer business as a major can't spell business right (example: in an application brochure for the University of Kentucky).
Many engineers can't spell in general (a trend which is improving), but that's an entirely different matter.
All I can say, is I hope you guys remember all of that when you've got your iron rings and have to take orders from managers and project leaders who're MBA's and know very little actual hard science. Granted, there's always the chance things are different in Canada, but somehow I doubt Canada is completely Dilbert-zone-free.
We already have the rings. Got them on the 21st. Now we can clink them on all surfaces and annoy the crap out of everyone.
Trian and Wyatt have been able to open beers with theirs. I gave up after it looked like my pinky was going to snap first.
Also, many engineers get their MBAs and move up the ranks to more managerial roles.
There's a course I did this year (Introductory French 3) where we were divided up into teams of four or five, the day before the test, and did a contest to see which team was better at grammar.
It was epic. Our team was losing but we ended up winning due to our wonderful intuition and the fact that 2 of the people on our team did french immersion in High school
I notice my ability to spell has rapidly deteriorated in proportion to the amount of recreational reading I make time for.
