Re: engineering degrees

It's very hard. But it will get easier.

We needed 130 credits at UofMich, where my friends in Chemistry only needed 120. I ended up taking 133 because a) I screwed up in my schedule and b) I decided I wouldn't drop the class I took by accient. (It was ergonomics - and that's really cool).

I did it in 4 years. I fought through the "weeder" classes. I studied alot. I took alot of "project" type classes so I was doing alot of research and development work outside of lectures.

I say it gets "easier" - but I think you just figure out how to learn and work. My Masters degree was the easist degree to get. I think it was easier than high school. That's not to say the material was easy. It was more complex than anything I have ever done. But it was something I enjoyed, so I liked working on it - made it easy.

SO - BASICALLY - If you enjoy engineering (or whatever), it gets "easier".

Kind of like the hardest fun you'll ever have.
