A Gilbert-and-Sullivanesque consideration of how awful college majors are
A while back Randall Munroe of xkcd wrote/drew a typically thorough and creative comic about how every major in college is a bad choice. His analysis was presented as the lyrics to a song that could be sung to the tune of “Modern Major General” from ”The Pirates of Penzance.”
Of course, this needed to come to life with a real performance rather than staying confined in the panels of a comic…
I suggest reading the comic as you listen to the video…

I studied political science, work as a computer engineer, and love both! :D
No accounting… sad face. I guess I’ll just have to stick with Monty Python’s Accountancy Shanty.
This is awesome. Well done.
Well done! The comic as well as the accompanying musical piece! Now, with cat-like-tread upon the next 22 Words article I steal!
