That was the only good thing about my year in art.

Hmm ....
Astrophysics and Particle Physics would have been interesting ...
I think I would have a much stronger understanding of the universe ...

Also, maybe some more economics courses so that when I disagree with the figureheads on TV, then I would have more credibility

unless you take the upper lvl courses the only thing you would have a stronger understanding of is calculus

Well, I've already taken 3 semesters of calc/diff eq/linear algebra/engineering physics, etc so I probably have made a lot of the pre-reqs .... Post graduate physics classes would have been interesting, but meh, I was never a big "class learner", Instead I learn much better from a book or at a computer ...

Discredited philosophy? How?

It never went as far as saying 'all philosophy is a lie, but there were many examples in class that...... shit.

Woops, f*** me. I got philosophy and psychiatry mixed up.

I keep going back to the example of Freud's saying about penis envy, among others, which was brought up in both introductory courses, IIRC. In fact, I think it both courses did compliment philosophy with references to 'great' philosophers.

Yeah, there's a slight difference there.

comp sci instead of electrical engineering degree would have been nice

<= software engineer as a career

I also wish I took more finance stuff. A triple major comp sci/EE/fiannce something or the other if I could do it over.

You could get a Financial Engineering degree. They're usually one year.
