There was a stupid, very nice, guy in the dorm who majored in general business.? He studied very hard and graduated, unlike some of those who were much smarter who mocked him for working so hard on business courses.

I don¡¯t disagree that what you describe happens too often. But innate ability plays a big role as well. There are many people who would be studying hard every day to get a mickey mouse major.? Then there are others, like myself, for my pharmacy degree, I had 4 years of chemistry, 3 years of biology, lots of other ¡°hard¡± classes.¡± Many of many classmates would spend hours studying every day. I would day dream in class and wouldn¡¯t even worry about the chapter we were on until the day before the quiz or test. Haha, I¡¯m probably the one of the only people every who got an A in both semesters of Organic Chemistry, only to end up with a B 2nd semester because I got an F in the labwork section (I didn¡¯t have the patience to properly do experiments¡.if I¡¯d been deluded enough to go for a PhD, I likely would have been the one spending hours trying to figure out what I was doing and repeating experiments.)
While one¡¯s major, or their grades, is generally an indication of how much work and effort they¡¯ve put into their college degree, it isn¡¯t always.
