Lee Herman undecided freshman

He may or may not have the Īskills' to be an engineer, but he'll do it anyway, for the big bucks

WILDCAT: There seem to be lots of undecided majors around here. Anything strike your fancy?

HERMAN: I'm actually looking to go into something engineering. Probably materials science and engineering.

WILDCAT: Interesting. I don't know a thing about that.

HERMAN: Me neither.

WILDCAT: But you want to major in it?

HERMAN: A couple of my high school teachers told me that was the field to get into.

WILDCAT: What for?

HERMAN: Money.

WILDCAT: Ah, so that's why you're at the UA. It's money.

HERMAN: Of course. Why is anybody here?

WILDCAT: So you have no idea in the world what they do?

HERMAN: Actually I know a guy who was a materials science engineer and he's a VP for Intel.

WILDCAT: That's a pretty good endorsement of the field.

HERMAN: Works for me.

WILDCAT: You think you've got the skills to be a VP for Intel?

HERMAN: Of course. I got the skills. I will go pro.

WILDCAT: Show me the skills.

HERMAN: I got no skills. I got none.

WILDCAT: So we're a week into classes. How are they going?

HERMAN: Not too bad. Better than last semester. I think I've been to more classes this semester that I did last semester.

WILDCAT: All last semester?

HERMAN: Yes.

WILDCAT: That must not have been good for your GPA. What'd you get, like a 0.2?

HERMAN: Actually I had a 2.8.

WILDCAT: That's not bad. And now the whole university will know that too.
