Why did I think that was a police line up picture?  There should be heights written on the lines.

I thought kinesiology was like a pud PE major?  Getting it in 2 years is good tho.  I hope he uses the next two years to get a marketable degree.  My undergrad degree was not marketable, so this advice is not me shaming, it's me counseling. 

See, I appreciate you, Alex.

It definitely isn't pud. I dated a kinesiology major in college, she was smart a.f. but her classes were hard and time consuming, a lot of science. She spent every bit of time on class work as my friends who were engineers and architects without the accompanying need for pity.

A lot of people seem to get this degree... and not very many succeed after college with it and those who do end up not making a whole lot... that's just my experience with it...

There are different types of kinesiology degrees.  There are BA & BS option & then if you're planing on med or PA school you, you get a different advisor who puts you in harder science classes to prepare you while pushing you into things like class leader in the cadaver lab class.  I'm not saying Alex is in the easier track, but the kinesiology ciriculum a lot of athletes are in is very different from what your friend probably did.

Had a roomie that did was kinesiology major, it's not pud. Just a narrow field that is very competitive. Basically need to do grad school work to really get a leg up in the field. But i agree Alex should totally have majored in Business Admin or Hotel/Restaurant Management, cause lord knows based on the number of enrollees into those programs there MUST be just a Many 'great' jobs waiting for those kiddos when they get out in the real world.  :ROFL:

I don't care if he's getting it in general studies, getting a degree in three years while playing a sport is unreal.

I thought she should be new Fatima. You think Kelis and Jaimi could develop the chemistry that Jeff & Fatima had?

I hope we keep him happy. I'd hate to see him graduate transfer on us.

She's no Fatima.

And as will be made titanically clear, Kellis is no Jeff.
