What undergraduate major has the most douchebags?

A lot of engineers I knew seemed to mostly only want to talk about how brilliant engineering is. Probably the most arrogant bunch of students I knew.

Them and business grads.

Funny, I thought the same thing when I read the thread title. But finance and/or strategy are the true douchebags. Accountants are cool, marketing majors are airheads, and all other emphases are tolerable.

Finance attracts the douchiest of the douches.

OP, you sound childish but there is some truth in your stereotypes.

Don't be overly practical in college. There will be ample time for that later.

And don't worry so much about the douches, lest you become the douche.

Student-athletes are the biggest p r i c k s and c u n t s at my school. They think they are all going to be Kobe or Magic when in reality a set of Walmart Associates uniforms awaits them upon graduation.

Criminal justice majors can be pretty douchey b/c the guys think they'll be professional bullies someday. That is until they realize how small the job market is. Then their egos shrink faster than, well, you know.

Not sure. What do/did most LRCers major in?

Almost certainly gynaecology.

Men's lacrosse players are always among the biggest douche bags you will EVER meet on campus.

History...too many pre-law people raising their hands all the time, "Is this going to be on the exam?" No interest in the material itself

I agree with the semi-consensus that engineers are self-important dip$hits. What they do isn't easy but to hear them talk and sneakbrag you'd think they were out there discovering the cure for cancer. I think it passes them by that there are people out there who really are looking for a cure for cancer and are very intelligent while they do it. I read them putting down anatomy, physiology etc as some kind of cruisy bludge for people not clever enough to do engineering and shake my head.

My votes:

Some general business/finance majors (mostly at the lesser known business schools) who think they know it all about the stock markets but despite the blowhard attitude and "knowledge" can't get much of a handle in the job market as employers and interviewers have a good BS detector that goes off. Their Smart friends who know something about business usually have the BS detector go off but won't say much because they don't want to hurt any feelings.

Some BUllshit Marketing and business management majors. They don't know shit about anything. They didn't study anything specific like marketing analytics or finance/Econ/accounting. Some of them go into human resources and become "experts" in "business psychology" in what amounts to more BS.

Some Political science guys who brag they are "pre law" types at lesser known and pretty crappy undergraduate schools . I should emphasize only SOME. These guys all think they'll be great politicians some day but usually after completing a bachelors at a crappy school in poly sci, they end up in something completely different. They might get an internship through a family connection under some radical politician in their hometown area, but there won't be much else in their poly sci careers.

Some psychology and communications majors at lesser known schools. Some of these jerks end up going into human resources to F up the hiring process at big corporations and pride themselves as "experts" in a BS field. Others of this group of psychology majors take jobs in credit collection agencies making phone calls to collect $$$ lmao.

Still others take jobs as recruiters at temporary staffing agencies. This is a sometimes a great job for the stereotypical super good looking sorority chick who was a marketing/psychology major in college. The douchiness comes from thinking they know a lot about people and so therefore are better than anyone else at doing their types of jobs...

Note:

It's important to emphasize that in the examples above it's usually someone who went to a very mediocre/crappy institution who isn't all that bright who ends up on these career paths. The reason I vote them as the DOUCHIEST is that it seems like their head is in the clouds about themselves in college and shortly after college, until they really hit the job market and then they realize maybe they aren't that great after all.

This thread is douchebag central.

...

The science majors are wired, nerdy, and could care less what they look like, but are very smart, nice, considerate, and friendly.

...

Actually, we couldn't care less what we look like.

Not sure if douchebag is the right label, but I had to take an art elective, so I took Art History & found that art majors were by far the worst people on campus. Back biting, outspokenly mean and nasty, clicky, immature etc. I felt like I was in junior high.

Plot twist: if you spend a lot of time trying to decide who's a douchebag, it's *you* that's the biggest douchebag.

In no particular order:

PE majors

Women's Studies

African American Studies

and lastly Communications.

Social Work

Communications

Sports Studies/PT

and Business majors

In that order

Egyptology?

Business, and Finance in particular. Weirdly, economics and accounting majors are fine.

I was an engineer -- there are definitely some dbags in engineering. Where I went, a lot of them also cheated their asses off. The absolute worst were engineers who planned on going into business/management.

Also, "pre-med" and pre-law, the guys who think that taking an anatomy class or studying for the LSAT qualifies them to give professional advice.
