Yeah, well, the English Lit people at UNH weren't that great either. I'm not sure what *was* good at UNH in the College of Liberal Arts. What little national recognition UNH gets is as an Engineering school.

Anyway, I don't necessarily regret my decision to get a degree in English. At the time I decided to go for it, it was one of my only options if I didn't want to spend more than four years at school, and I need "a degree" to get hired on at the USGS doing computer stuff. So as far as that goes, it was perfect and exactly what I needed.

Pretty much every day of my life, though, I wish I hadn't been a complete doofus and had been ready to handle being a Physics major.
