What kinda interviews you doing baw? I have the extra emoji package and would like to do a phone interview.
Seriously though, I'm a senior, and the grammar and spelling that some of my classmates have is on a fifth grade level. They give me their portion of group projects to go over, and then get pissed when I have to completely rewrite what they gave me. 2+2 =/= Applebee's
I have only worked with one other person at UNO that can actually write a proper lab report

My brother is finishing up his PT program and I have come to have a new found level of respect for the rigor of the program.
PT's know how the body works (muscles, connective tissue, etc.) much more than doctors (maybe an exception of someone who does a residency specializing...talking right out of med school).

My list:
1) Engineering
2) Physics
3) Mathematics / Econometrics / Statistics
4) Finance / Economics / Accounting
5) Computer Science
All undergraduate level. If it opens up to graduate study, then it changes things a bit.
I could do a spinoff and say: What are the certifications you respect the most.

I know people with PhDs in physics, math, and engineering. Physics is by far the hardest. Physics proves math's random solutions and is the basis for all engineering. My buddy took an entire class on lasers. I mean, wtf? I thought you just get cats to chase them around and burn things.
Much respect for those guys

I had to rewrite a ton of my senior design group's projects. They were smart guys, but you're correct, a ton of the engineering types can't write for shite. To be fair, one of the three was Brazilian.
And yeah, as an EE, Physics is quite a bit more difficult. Though my having no interest in any of it outside of the Quantum Physics class certainly played a part in the difficulty.

Is this thread an engineering circle jerk yet? Medicine is by far the most life consuming so I'd say I respect them the most for their dedication. Takes discipline and real dedication to stay in study mode for such a long portion of your life.

Mine were all American. I had to look back and think, "Did I go to better schools than these people". The answer is that yes, half of the time I did. The other half, I went to horrible public schools. These mf'ers can't even type how they converse. It's ridiculous.

Yeah, that's not my experience. A 3.0 app goes in the trash
Since this is a LSU board we will use LSU law school numbers.
For 2013 of the 624 applicants that were accepted 91 had a undergraduate GPA below 2.99, 36 were below 2.75

Medicine

Physics

A lot of engineers are WAY too stuck on themselves. I've got several relatives who are successful engineers and they aren't as bright as the teachers I know.

This is not a bad discussion, but for the most part it is really only a pissing match, a degree the little slip of paper you receive is not the most important thing in college, as cliche or bullshite as that sounds.
What I mean is set post grad degrees aside. If anyone 30 years ago,today, or 10 years from now thinks a "degree" sets you up for life, they were not raised right or told the truth. Meaning yes obviously people that get college degrees, of course make more on average than those that dont. An undergraduate bachelors has been diluted so much compared to when my parents went to school, that almost all of them mean nothing. Hard work, connections, and understanding how the world works will take someone a lot farther than that. Again its not that a degree is not important, it is a pointless arguement.
Also I am currently at LSU and double majoring in two degrees that most on here have said are absolute crap, Geaux Tigers. Just for perspective

When I was younger I was in awe of doctors, lawyers, engineers, etc. You know, the usual of what people aspired to be. After retiring from the military I went to nursing school because I couldn't afford med school, PT was way down and few programs were open, and being a teacher couldn't afford me (their pay is insanely low). After going through the nursing program I'd have to put that in the top five for sure. How the heck I got out of there, much less 2nd in my class, I don't know. We had 1100 applicants, had 131 in our program and 58 of us graduated. I studied more in the last two years than I did in the previous 7 years (I have a BAS and MS) combined. That program sucked. But, I'm glad I did it now because if I want a job I can work. Dang near anywhere.

There were some pretty dumb people in my classes who got engineering degrees at lsu. Just sayin

Engineering is NOT more difficult than science...in fact it's just dumbed down physics. Granted it may be dumbed down PhD level physics topics, but here's the equations don't worry how they were derived. Hell, even advanced level math courses are harder than ANY engineering course since you have to CREATE. Deriving your own equations is ALWAYS harder than using a cheat sheet of them.
Engineering is the most work for an undergrad degree, but it most certainly doesn't have the hardest classes. Again, we're talking LSU here, not one f the top level engineering schools.

A degree is just a piece of paper. There are idiots with all sorts of "impressive" degrees

Anything dealing with the super small or elementally basic in physical science and math.

Only difference I saw in engineering to physics was that engineering applied the physics to real life applications. Physics allowed you to set up the problems so that they mirrored what you learned exactly. Engineering required a lot of assumptions and experimental data to "fit" the physics to the application. Sometimes, that made it difficult. As far as respect, if I can do it, I don't think it's that special, so I don't hold anyone in some high regard. But, I do think it's the toughest. I don't know anyone in any other degree coming close to the work I saw done in engineering. Doesn't mean an average intelligent person with a hell of a work ethic can't do it though.
I respect the whole process for med-school. I don't have that personality to be perfect and get that 4.0 in undergrad(I'd easily settle for a B and a beer) so I respect that. But, I think the material outside of organic is easier than quite a few other degrees. You just need to be perfect at it. I helped several friends in pre-med who thought their physics (and it wasn't even the tough version) was horrible. I respect what they do afterwards for sure.
I'd say you can go 50/50 on Law. It's not that hard to find a law school that will take you. But there are some who obviously do it and do it well.
