you should tell that to most M.D.s. But I guess you would think it is ok if a sociology major was operating on you.....

Most people do not work as their major? That's a pretty ignorant statement bro.
My school is a tier 2 private catholic college that costs 30k+ a year. A real school? Maybee you didn't go to a real highschool but mine sure as hell was harder than any college class I've ever seen...
And about working in your major. Look at the job market. Unless you have a technical major like computer science ect or bio for pre-med, you will probably not work directly in you major. Majors don't matter at all if you go to grad school niether does institution of undergrad work.

Bro, I just spent four hardest years out of my life completing a dual degree in both hard science and a soft science, computer science and social psychology.
The kind of work that I had to do involved reading 500 page books, and not just remebering material but analyzing and developing from it. In no way would it be possible without attending the lectures, without the books, or without using supplementary help.
My schools costs 26k a year, and its one of the top private technology schools in US.
But wait. Maybe I would be able to achieve A's by just sitting on my ass and not attending school if I was a "public relations/advertising major".
It is an insult to me, after so much arduous effort, that I put into my degrees to say that college is so easy.
And by the way, I WILL work in my major's field, and I DID pass my English 101 spelling test.

By the way bro, I don't want to get into a pissing contest for you.
If it has been easy for you so far, then you obviously have the intelligence and knowledge that makes it seem easy for you. I am pretty minded to that idea.
But please do not make generalize that assumption to people who had to work hard to get where they are. Its plainly insulting.

Props to you on the degree and double major, all I am saying is school in general is just a test of two things. 1. You ability to take tests (this is my skill, I use and abuse tests and learn what the teach wants and give them that) or 2. Your attention span and willingness to do hours of useless work (my weekness).
You mastered the ability to study and do work and that I cannot say I have done but with my interests I know none of that is important. I openly admit that for a living I want to write to manipulate poeple into thinking what I want them to think. You should see the look on a PR teachers face when you openly tell them you want to be a shady advertising proffesional...
Thats really what I mean, school is what you make of it depending on you natural level of bullshitting talent and knowing I have bad ADD I went with what comes natural...
And you have to admit though, besides technical advanced classes did you ever reallt think college was hard?

Bro I agree with you on most of these things. A lot of college work can be described simply as bullshit, you're right about that. It is possible to mask reports, papers and other documents using fancy complicated words but at the end a lot of is just bunch of useless crap.
In my opinion, i dont see how it is fair to put a semester's work into a 3 hour final test. That still confuses the fuck out of me even after so many years.
The hard sciences like math, physics and computer science required a lot of specific calculations and derivation of numbers from real life problems. The answer there was either true or false. There was very little bsing there.
So I guess the difficulty factors depends on the major, your personality, and the distractions. But its a combination of many things, not just one

Your major is why you don't understand how people can fail out of school. Think about that.
At my school it's Mass Comm. Pretty much the same thing; it's what all the dumb sorority girls major in.
I recently discovered something surprising: the hardest major at my school isn't engineering or english, it's music. Those people spend 80% of their waking lives in the practice room. The other 20% is split between class and basics like eating. I know at least three friends who were considering majoring or minoring in music only to have their asses kicked by the requisite classes. Well, four if I count myself.
