Why is it than whenever these threads come up, someone has to chime into a thoughtful discussion with this kind of crap?  Average doesn't mean anything.  If you are an "average" anything major you're probably not heading straight to the top.  If you are smart and driven, you can succeed regardless of major.  But hey, it's easier to think in black and white and top 10 lists, right?  Just let junk journalism do your thinking for you.   :roll: [/quote]
