Right right, though actually the workload was fairly heavy, as it was a focus in game design.
Haha, that reminds me of my roommate in undergrad. He was bitching about his communications courses. I dumped my Organic Chem book on his nuts and told him to shut the fuck up.

Shut him up when I told him my Organic Chem book cost $200.

Exactly.

Not the best of nights for my Alma Mater
Completely and totally disagree with your second paragraph. I don't think the majority of students, at least in the sciences, got into their major because they couldn't hack it in another. I think they got into it because they liked it, or because they found it a nice challenge. I also think there's quite a few people in the world who could do any major. In fact, I know quite a few people like me who majored in both a social science and a natural science to round themselves out (in fact we had a club for it). I can tell you this from personal experience: the social science classes were easy -- I could ace them in my sleep. I actually had to do some work for the science classes. It's true, there's aptitude to consider. But then I would be willing to place almost any amount of money on the bet that a successful (that's key) physics major could breeze through a communications major. They may hate every minute of it, but they could easily do it.

To be a proper English major, you must master the fine art of bullshitting. This also helps when you're writing NIH grants.
To be a proper bullshitter, your bullshitting must somehow make you money.
The study of faith in ions. Duh. Retard.
Maybe 'couldn't cut it' was a bit extreme in my wording. But you sort of hit my second point with your Physics major example. Maybe he could breeze through a communications major, but if decides not to because he would hate it ... then do you see where I'm going with that?
I don't think saying a subject is easy necessarily dismisses it. I find art, literature, and theater to be extremely important to humanity (the humanities durrr), but I wouldn't necessarily rank them as being the most difficult things in the world to grasp with a little bit of research and motivation. But that's also the beauty of them, they're meant for everyone to understand and enjoy, at their own pace so to speak. Science and Engineering is not like that at all. It's a fast paced, competitive area of study with a lot of complicated concepts that can be very, very abstract to most individuals. To this day, I couldn't for the life of me know where to begin with figuring out physics questions. Once I had someone show me the equations to start with, I was fine. I could hack it in undergrad Physics but I knew I'd tank at the graduate level, and I like to think of myself as a hard working student. Hell, I knew bright kids in grad school who completely and utterly failed hard. These people were driven and motivated towards their subject. That sort of stuff just doesn't happen in humanities.
