Ugh that's annoying. I took the maximum courses in my field that the university allowed and it was still only ~60% Tongue
I suppose I might be exaggerating a little bit, as I'm counting a lot of foundational classes (like linear algebra, differential equations, and multivariable calculus, for me), which I am counting as part of the "field" (my major is a math/computer science hybrid, though I intend to also get a master's in CS). 

The general education part of college is such a ing waste of time. I learned very little about business and accounting in nearly two years of college. One thing I'm really paranoid of is being just 3 semesters away from graduation and getting into harder classes and suddenly finding out that I'm not  good at this, after blowing tons of money just to take two glorified years of high school.

Thank God I did my first two years at community college and not at some big state school I'd have to take out loans for. We really need to drop the first whole year of college. I feel pretty bad for students who took out huge loans only to find out they weren't college ready.

I'd say that transferring to a system of 5 years of high school in order to expose students to what would otherwise be introductory sociology/econ/etc. courses and/or trades wouldn't be a bad idea. Wasted 2 years finding out what other subjects I liked, and 3 accepting that my interests were largely unemployable.
