Wai Kit: So what is the difference between someone with a double degree compared to another with a double major?
Thomas: Someone with double degree belongs to two schools, for example he/she can be from both the School of Economics and the School of Law.
Thomas: A double major student belongs to one school only and has only one paper.
Wai Kit: I don't get it - doesn't a double major student gets to study another field? Isn't that the same as taking a second degree?
Thomas: Hmm...
Thomas: It's like when you order two burgers at two separate counters. So you get two separate receipts right? Now that is a double degree.
Thomas: Someone who take double major is like you order a burger and a packet of french fries in a single receipt.
Wai Kit: I still don't get it.
Weijian: Ok Wai Kit, for example you buy a piece of pancake.
Weijian: Double degree is you buy TWO pancakes, each with a different ingredient for example red bean and peanut.
Weijian: Double major is you put two ingredients into ONE pancake.
Waikit: Ohhhh, I get it now. So you just don't get as much depth in the second field as compared with one with a double degree.
Thomas: WTF? My analogy was good enough to be understandable.
Weijian: Thomas, you suck.
Weiheng: Wai Kit, you actually need so many people's efforts for you to understand one simple concept.
