[Ipg-smz] What college class or major did you transfer out of?

[Phil Shapiro]

In my books, you get full credit for dropping out of high school. 

And this New York state school superintendent graduated in the bottom tenth of his high school class. 

See wonderful TEDx talk at --

Who looks more deficient now -- the student or the high school he attended?

Does dropping out of high school count?

When I was in college, I transferred out of geology class after one week. After I heard the professor lecture about rocks for an hour, 
I knew the class was not for me. 

Then, as a mechanical engineering student, I learned that all third year engineering students were required to take accounting. 
The very thought of accounting class makes my brain hurt. So, I transferred out of engineering and got a degree in liberal arts (majored 
in philosophy.) If I need an accountant, I'll hire one, thank you. 

Just curious, what class or major did you transfer out of?
