What was your major in college?
I'm convinced that 90% of road riders are involved in some form of engineering.
Prove me wrong.
PS. I'm Business Information Systems.

I'm a graphic designer.
My bf is an engineer, and he kayaks and used to run...I'm getting him into cycling this year at least.

Vain, But Lacking Talent
Ironically enough, I am going back to school in Janurary for Engineering. My previous degree work was in Journalism and Photojournalism.

Sounds impressive, but in the late 70's, EVERY time I told somebody I went to NYU, they'd nod knowingly and reply, 'Oh, City College?'
Ummm........no.
Now it's a hot 'A-list' college everybody's dying to get into.

By the way, I could have gone to NYU Stern Business School (at the interview the guy said 'you're an alumni, you're in') and I passed.
God what an idiot I was.

You're an alumnus. Obviously the interview guy was not a Latin major.

First it was Poli Sci, then it was Pre Med, then it was US History, then it was Business and finally I dropped out and opened my own business.
