Default Mickey Mouse Course - Vehicle Immobilisation!!
And finally, our very own mickey mouse course...
Vehicle Immobilsation!

As always, politicians in Britain are criticising everything and doing nothing. The term Mickey Mouse Degrees was coined by one such politician - and means courses which aren't fit to be studied at a university.
I tried to make this course like the Undeclared course, in that you'd have to switch at the beginning of Junior year - but that turned out to be more difficult than I expected. So instead, here is your perfectly average, perfectly useless, Mickey Mouse Course!

Description: Vehicle Immobilisation: 'Ow to stop cars from movin' like.

Classes:
"Prerequisite" Skills: Reading
"Prerequisite" Skills: Counting

Immobilisation Procedure: Writing A Ticket
Immobilisation Procedure 2: Clamping A Tyre

Twiddling Thumbs
Playing Penlid Hockey

Sticking Stuff To The Ceiling
It's Finally Over!

Skills:
Creativity
Body
Mechanical
Cleaning

You are nuts, and I love you. This must have been a TON of work. Looks great! Might actually convince me to download some majors now.

Y'know, I went and removed the few custom majors I had installed, like a year or more ago, since I just don't play University much--but I guess I have to have custom majors again, cuz well....this is just too great a set

I love your sense of humor--

With stuff like that in the class descriptions, how can I now download them?

Must have taken you forever, thanks for all the effort!

This is great! I haven't used a custom major since before I installed Seasons, but I think you've convinced me to start up again.

Just one eentsy beentsy little request (that you don't necessarily have to listen to) -- is it at all possible you can provide all these majors in one file? Thanks bunches and thanks again for the majors.

Exactly where my mind went In fact, I pointed & said outloud, "Doctor Who! Ha!"
But, that's not the point. The point is, this is awesome. So much work & very appreciated! Thank you!

Wow! I too had a great time reading through your descriptions on each and every major! I have never downloaded a custom major before but after this one, I found the Majors made easy hack and went on a downloading frenzy of your new majors! Thank you for all your hard work on this one!

I'm in the same boat as everyone else - I've never downloaded a custom major before, but with such well written pieces, how in the world can I resist?!

Good God! You deserve a degree for this massive and expansive download!!! I must have Dead Languages. That was my favorite in college and the more useless a college degree, the better (and more realistic). You definitely deserve a Featured Item nomination for this!

Thank you! I never understood why there were physics and biology majors but not chemistry. This looks like it took sooo long to do, but you did a great job! Thanks for making the icons match the other major and career icons. I never download custom majors but in this case I will have to make an exception =)

Yes - the lycanthropy thing is a reference to Queen Victoria, although that myth didn't actually start in Doctor Who .

I may upload an 'everything' file - I considered it but thought that the number of people who could stand 30 bouts of my humour would be few, it appears I was wrong!

Thankyou for the compliments all.
