Many college students have tougher course loads then I do. So what are you trying to prove... Then again I'm in engineering, not liberal arts. <br />It all depends on home determined you are, if you go to take real courses and get a REAL degree you will do great if you don't, well just read the joke below.<br /><br /> The graduate with a Science degree asks, "Why does it work?" <br /> The graduate with an Engineering degree asks, "How does it work?" <br /> The graduate with an Accounting degree asks, "How much will it cost?" <br /> The graduate with a Liberal Arts degree asks, "Do you want fries with that?"
= :wink: not
