Nice survey. The gap between “one course or played around a bit” and “undergrad major” in some questions felt pretty big—an “undergrad minor” option would have been nice.
(I assumed that these corresponded to roughly the amounts that I’m used to, with an undergrad major being something like 60 ECTS credits worth of courses specifically in that major, and a minor 25.)
Mostly I didn’t want to over-complicate the survey with too many buckets. I probably should have elaborated a bit more on “equivalent level of knowledge”—I’d say a minor is 70% of the way to a major in most technical fields, since there’s decreasing marginal returns on courses in the same field.
