What are generally the fields that the smartest students pick in college?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Clearly, if you could not tell by this site, Physics!
 
Communications, Leisure Arts, Women Studies.
 
Basket-weaving actually has more smarter people than Leisure Arts, I believe.

I fully disagree Leisure Artists are much smarter than Basket-weaving majors, consider the difference between the classes Pool Party Planning 312 and Current Events in Baskets (BSW 314). The evidence speaks for its self.
 
Weedology 101. Guy on my floor is setting the curve in this.

commerce, pharmacy, and engineering
 
The smartest people are the ones who go to the majors where the other smart people don't go, so obviously it's got to be politics, climatology, and business.

Engineering, Mathematics, Linguistics. Many other fields are various blends among these three. What students pick and what they succeed may not always be the same.
 
What about computer science?
 
I was once enrolled in a course called the "History of Furniture", which I never attended. But I have come to believe that the best minds usually become Furniture Historians.
 
Okay, I think everyone has had their chance at fun, and the point has been made. Before this thread gets COMPLETELY out of control, I'm going to lock it. Thanks for the chuckle. :wink:
