<p>well then, i can see its just an ego thing then. look there are plenty of things that are easy. thats not the question. you can also go to law or business with virtually any major. </p>
<p>to separate yoursesf from the ego effects of grades and scores, do this: think about the classes and tests you take. imagine that you receive no grades on anything. imagine that grades dont exist and that next year, you can choose any classes you want. which do you choose? which do you want to be associated with? forget your test scores. imagine you took it yesterday, and based on taking it, which section do you like more? the true value of the test is not your score, but how it makes you feel. this is because a score compares you to others, and implicitly one should be happier with a higher score. but that is not how real life works. your capacity for happiness has nothing to do with intelligence (assuming no disorders and such). the same pattern holds for money.</p>
<p>if you wanted to be an actor, for example, you would have to work part time jobs like at a restaurant so that you can feasibly do the work you want to do in your spare time. how many lawyers do you think would accept making crap money at a restaurant just so they can write briefs when they get home?</p>
<p>not only is it their desire for money, but more so their desire to make more than others (salaries are published so that people know what you make). while these people are above others mentally, i think emotionally they are a bit simpler if they need a figure like to justify your actions. this is pretty much exactly what you did by the way.</p>
