5 Things You Probably Don't Know About Fisherman's Wharf A visit to Fisherman s Wharf typically tops the list of things to do in San Francisco. Over 10 million people eat in its restaurants, visit its museums and shop in its stores. Yet only a smidgen of the area's rich history will ever be known to them.1. The Runaway ForefatherUntil the beginning of the 1900's, Fisherman s Wharf was known as Meiggs' Wharf. Henry Meiggs was a lumber salesman, turned real estate investor. While developing the Wharf, he nearly went bankrupt. Instead, he stole a book of the city's payment warrants and escaped to South America with $8,000. There he became a successful railroad developer.

Double Majoring, Is is worth it? Double Majoring, Is is worth it? Double is usually associated with great things; 2 for 1 movies, double cheese-burgers, double rainbows, etc. So it comes as no surprise that many students find the idea of double majors very enticing. Many feel that if they have interests in multiple fields, obtaining both degrees in the time it takes one is a fantastic idea. Others point out that the much greater work load removes a lot of flexibility and may impede you from enjoying other lesser subjects. Who's got it right? There isn't really a direct answer. Sure, a double major looks really good on a resume but there isn't much proof that it offers you a major (no pun intended) advantage in the job market or getting into graduate schools. On the other hand, majoring in two subjects offers a much greater depth in knowledge which is never a down-side in the real world. The point is that only you can decide for yourself if doubling is right for you. First of all, examine the reasons why you want to do it. You might have a certain career in mind that would require expertise in two separate fields. Web site development or eCommerce, for example,...more
