And here I was thinking that over there in the brave new world of America it was almost impossible to take this long to finish a degree... *g*

Wow. Seven years for a bachelor's degree is... even worse than my seven and a half years for a master's, I guess! *g*

What were your majors? (Mine are completely unrelated, too - but that's not unusual at all in Germany, so it shouldn't have affected the time it took me to study.)
