Re: If you could do college all over, what would you study?
I'm talking big money. $150K+. Ain't too many engineers driving around in Maseratis. I'd consider engineering to generally be on-par or close to pharmacy. How fucking cheap is FL housing that a $150K salary would give you the leftover money to get a Maserati? With no wife or kids and no other debt?...

Re: Another Twothousandthirteen NHL Thread
If the Hawks want to get that coveted 6th-seed, they better start losing now. They are only one or two games away from clinching the division.
It is really going to suck when they lose in the first round to fucking Detroit.
