I like it when the students getting their Art degrees put on shows that, to little old uneducated me, look like weirdness, but they get up there and explain what it all means and how it represents the "blank" of the "blank" and their struggle with "blank"
Not that they're all like that though, I'm sure. My first boyfriend was getting his Music degree. He worked hard.
This reminds me of a quote I once heard from Magnus Magnusson (Mastermind host on BBC for about 20 years) - "the answers are only easy if you know them"...
One person's "easy" course might be very difficult for somebody else.
Mind you - in the US it's common for people to be shoe-horned into college to get them into the basketball or football team, isn't it...
ooooh Mastermind! That show always scared me. We had a little plastic version of the game I liked though : )
And absolutely, "easy" is relative.
I don't know too much about what goes on in the US colleges but I know when I was at our local University here, the athletes seemed to have to work twice as hard as the rest of us. They had their courses on top of games and practices and parties and hot chicks.. uh.. er..

No, really.
