I have seen this, for some it was kids who were the big fish hitting the big time , friend of mine at work, one of the founders of the company, went to MIT and he said there were a group of kids who are good enough to get in there, who when faced with the reality of the school, end up for example being the ones who major in things like business admin or philosophy, still really bright people but whereas they might have been at the top of the curve at even a competitive high school, at MIT they were average or lower, and they could feel like this.

Why would philosophy (at any school) would be considered an “easy” major?
