<p>This is the wrong way to look at things. </p>
<p>Companies don’t care whether you took hard or easy courses. Most don’t even know the difference (but note, for one example, of the companies hiring MBA students that looked specifically for ones trained by Gene Fama!).</p>
<p>What a company looks for is the ability to do the job and future promise. There are many paths to that goal. </p>
<p>Consider too that what is hard for one person may be easy for another. For the right kid, an honors course, with more theory and less rote, may be easier than a “standard” course. So keep an open mind. </p>
<p>BTW, do NOT believe posts that claim it is easier to get decent grades elsewhere. over 2/3 of June 2008 grads graduated with honors. You do the math…</p>
