Oh great point. Advanced Robotics and Physics are tough majors, therefore nothing else is?

That makes no sense. Just because those two are hard fields of study, doesn't mean accounting isn't tough.

Looks like you might've missed your logic class back in freshman year.

Yeah, that's pretty much what I am saying, dude. Logic tells me the majority will agree with me! You MUST be an accountant so I guess you can crunch those numbers, fella. Sorry, but Accounting IS a cake major.

I think this is an area where Liddell is underrated. He has an accounting degree from a good university. That's no easy feat. I'm a CPA and I know that there is no easy accounting class. For Chuck to get through school playing sports/doing martial arts AND getting an accounting degree WITH HONORS shows his intelligence.

This seems to influence his fighting. The guy had a great strategy for Couture and implemented it perfectly. From watching his career, it seems he's figured out his best method and way to fight with success. To do so so successfully again shows he is a thinker.

Just thought this was an interesting point to make about one of the best fighters in the world. The guy is beast. He's also a strategist.
you also fight for your faith. I just wanted to point that out.

Now this I will agree with, but Accounting is STILL a cake degree.

referring to this and the post he quotes, everyone who drops physics major switches to accounting at my school... or communications.

seriously though, degrees, honors, etc really mean that you work hard, not necissarily that you're smart.

Good point, and even then you can argue memorizing a bunch of stuff isn't really working hard. There are plenty of people who graduate from major universities that are nobodys and do stuff that nobody cares about. On the other hand, there's also people who graduate from major universities that do things that people do give a damn about.

What I'm saying is, it always depends on the person. You can't just stereotype any one group completely anymore, there's always an exception to the rule. Always.

And on the subject of accounting, who cares?
