35 Slogans For College Majors If They Were Honest:

Structural Engineering: Because architects don’t know what physics is.

Biochemistry: Spend 4 years aspiring to discover the cure for cancer, and the rest of your life manufacturing shampoo.

Aerospace Engineering: “It actually is rocket science.”

Zoology: Because you can’t major in kittens.

Accounting: Selling your soul for money.

I do however agree with the Finance slogan.

Finance: “Accounting was too hard.”

I was a dual major, Finance/accounting

That one hurt it was so accurate. Somebody needs to do a study on PTSD among nurses. We've all got it to one extent or another and no one seems to care.

My first spouse was a nurse practitioner and an incredibly strong and caring person. Dealt with mostly terminal patients before dying all too early of multiple myeloma.

Intellectually, emotionally, and physically. I am a nurse practitioner myself, in outpatient pediatrics. We see patients from birth thru completing college, which requires a very broad knowledge base.

Fortunately, in a regular every day pediatric office, most of the problems are relative uncomplicated and generally easily solved. Nonetheless, at the end of every work day, I head home emotionally spent.

Your first wife sounds as if she was a stellar representative of our profession. How sad her life was not longer.

I knew I was unhappy at the end of my nursing career, but everyone told me it was just burn out. I didn't realize until I retired that it was actually much more serious than that.

I think a lot of us would have if we could have.

I want to know what credentials one needs to design and test cat/kitten toys. Now THAT would be a job without much of a downside.

you publish in a mathematics journal.

If you understand something but can't prove it, you publish in a physics journal.

If you don't understand something, but can prove it, you publish in an economics journal.

If you don't understand something and can't prove it, you publish in a psychology journal.

By the way, an economics major is someone who lacked the charisma to be an accountant.
