<p>You’ve got it backwards.</p>
<p>College is **** easy compared to just about any high paying job.
I’ve put in near 0 effort for 90% of my college career and I have an exceptional GPA.
I’ve had part time jobs that swamped me in work until I wanted to puke.</p>
<p>If you think that you’ll “bust your ass” in college and that it’s all smooth sailing after graduation, then you’re not going to make a lot of money, no. That’s completely backwards. You can definitely make good money with an econ. degree but you have to view graduation as a humble beginning, not a glorious ticket to wealth.</p>
