Eh not really, college is easier than high school and jobs are easier than college.  Going from 7-8 areas and bosses down to 4-5 down to 1-3 max.

Plus, with most jobs you are given 40 hours a week to do the work.  Imagine how much you could get done if you actually spent 40 hours a week doing work in high school or college.[/quote]

I thought STEM was harder than HS. Thank God for the curve.[/quote]

Because I went to FCPS, and took a lot of APs, the first few years of my college engineering curriculum were easier than HS. (Sure, I was learning new/higher level things, but I wasn't having to put in as much effort to learn/get good grades.)

That said, in my Freshman Engineering class (at VT), they took a poll a month in. I was one of say, 20 kids in the 300 person class that thought college was easier than they expected. Most of the class thought college was harder than they expected. So I'm not sure what the rest of the state is doing.[/quote]
