Eeee...I get knocked quite a bit from my friends who are taking "more practical" courses in IT and business and such at SAIT.

I get the "So you like take gym and stuff" crap all the time. Ya that, and a whole wack of science, biomechanics, statistics, and psych courses, plus volunteer doing grunt work at the hospital so I can cross my fingers and hopefully get a crack at getting into the Masters in Physiotherapy program at UofA.

As a kinesiology student I could royally ###### myself and end up with just a general Ba if I don't keep me marks up and get into a Masters program..but such are the chances I choose to take knowing I really wouldn't be happy crunching numbers as an accountant or suiting up for the boardroom.

That's not a knock against accountants, engineers, poli sci majors, or anyone else for that matter. If it's what makes you tick, then so be it. Making money's nice too, but at the expense of being bored out of my skull for the rest of my life, I'll take a chance on following my instincts anyday.
