I'm an Artist!!!
"I wanna study art, the only kind they got is liberal" is a line from one of my favorite songs by one of my favorite rappers whom you've probably never heard of. Obscurity aside, today I'm going to talk about something reasonably controversial: the liberal arts and their place, if any, in finance....

Recommend a Major for me Please
I'm still choosing between schools but its likely I'll go to a non-target (UW). It's ranked like 6 for CS and I got into CS so it will be my primary major.
