I thought the portion about English, philosophy, psychology and any other subjects that have actual facts are extremely hilarious. However, what Dave Barry says about each of these subjects is completely true.
Here is a short excerpt in the article:
"...Be sure to choose a major that does not involve Known Facts and Right Answers. This means you must not major in mathematics, physics, biology, chemistry, because these subjects involve actual facts. If, for example, you major in mathematics... If you don't come up with exactly the answer the professor has in mind, you fail."
This excerpt relates very well with any of the mentioned subjects in high school because in all of the classes like chemistry or biology, if the teacher asks the student a question, the answer must be exactly what the teacher has or it is wrong; there is no such thing as partially right or wrong. It is either one way or the other.
I really enjoyed reading this article. I hope there is more article like this in the future :)
