The corrected guide to University studies

During our walk to work in the rain yesterday, Rebecca pointed out the number of earthworms on the wet sidewalk.  I admitted to not liking them, and she mentioned the 'ick' factor of having to dissect one. 

"I was glad I didn't have to dissect a cat in Bio. Did Sarah have to do a cat?"   I said probably not, quoting the joke truism "her Bio is now mostly Chemistry."  Which led to this list:

Business is now mostly Economics
Economics is now mostly Sociology
Sociology is now mostly Psychology
Psychology is now mostly Biology
Biology is now mostly Chemistry
Chemistry is now mostly Physics
Physics is now mostly Math
Math is now mostly Number Theory
Number Theory is now mostly Computational Science
Computational Science used to be called Programming
And nobody teaches Programming;

After all, this is a University, not a Trade School!
