Excuse me, anything better...?

Everything.

I did Microeconomics in my first semester last year. I don't believe in hell but I'd imagine it'd be something like a Microeconomics lecture. It was so bloody boring. I only know of one person doing a Commerce or Economics degree at my uni who actually thinks that sort of stuff is fun. And this is a uni with a prolific Faculty of Business (as it is now called). I really can't understand why those degrees are so popular if so few seem to enjoy them. It can't purely be the riches awaiting them after they graduate.

I'm finishing my honours in Quantity Surveying but also actively involved in property development (my source for affording my first love...996 4S)

Ok, fair enough. It's just that from my experience, people seem to do such majors even though they don't enjoy them. Finance is a disproportionately common major at my uni. Perhaps more people like it than I think.

It may not be a big deal to most of you, but here where I live there are 3 major airports. One in San Francisco, one in Oakland, and one here in San Jose. Although San Jose is the largest city in the SF bay area, it has the smallest airport so large airliners are not a very common sight. In fact only one 747 has visited the south bay since it was introduced in 1969. San Francisco gets all that due to all the tourism and more space for its airport.

Anyway the point im getting at is that the very first 747-400 landed here on the 27th and thanks to my job I was out there with all the media taking photos

And here is a little vid somebody took. The event got a lot of attention.

I love my job =)

my study is part of the Financial Management cluster that also includes accounting and business economics, so i guess it's comparable... and i love it

Excuse me, anything better...? Business is the most competitive and hardest major to be accepted to at most respectable universities in the U.S. Here at Texas A&M it is by far the most difficult college to be accepted into, not to mention I'm in Business HONORS. It's not just here at A&M either, UT and many other big name universities have to continually turn down hundreds if not thousands of applicants each year b/c for the most part they try to select the best candidates.

By no means am I trying to discount other majors as being difficult, b/c I have many friends who are engineering majors. However, I have yet to meet anyone outside of the business school(including engineering) who thought accounting and finance were easy courses.

Accounting is a piece of cake. Simply arithmetic + new vocabulary.

im a student at Louisiana State University, transferring to University of Texas for next semester. unfortunately, i have to complete a semester before i can get into the business school there, but that is ultimately the goal.

We engineering majors thought a good way to boost GPA was to take a junior/senior level accounting/statistics etc. class

the new vocab stuff was silly...
shortly, I won't be using any of my higher education learning for anything

.. and will be using business practices a great deal. I know people who are both very successful business majors, and people who will have a hard time finding a job with thie degree... business degrees are kinda like that.
