If it is so easy to get a 4.0 in hard science then why do some of my classes have a drop/fail rate of over 70%? Why are there courses where people get As about once every year or two?

Vern is right about the bullshit skills for being a salesman though.

Your classes have a fail rate of 70% because they are about as exciting as watching paint dry.

So is bullshitting about women's suffrage. One is clearly easy the other is markedly difficult.

+ it's the same people failing and passing every class (study skills being the common denominator)

Ok so these people can take and get As in the same classes as future MDs but they lack the study skills to do quantum? I don't think so. I'm not talking about liberal arts students here I'm talking about people who flew through calculus, physics, organic chemistry, etc with no problems.

Buddy of mine is doing extremely well with a BA in EE. He moved to Atlanta and after only 4 years he's head Engineer making 6 figs.

B.Eng in Civil Engineering specialized in strucutral and Transportation Engineering. Post graduate certificates in roundabout design, perimeter security and blast mitigation. Thought about going back for an M.Eng or an MBA but really no value added for me in my career.

Not true - My Anatomy & Phsyio class has a drop out rate of about 60% because in order to get into Nursing - you must have a 3.8 gpa.

So basically, if u aren't getting an A - everyone Withdraws. My field isn't so bad (as competitive). I can get a C in A&P and still get into my program. Cuz I got mostly A's and 1B

No way could I do nursing. I hate science.

You need to take an English comprehension class. At what point did I say all classes have high drop out rates because they are boring?
