The questions I have in my mind are Why did you chose a major that doesn't have any employment potential?? Why do you only have a 2.0 gpa, then wait till the last minute to do something about it... or is that the Governments fault too?? . . .

If you want hard and competitive, go with an engineering major at schools like MIT, Cal Poly, or Stanford.
If you want really hard and competitive, try medical school.

As a liberal, I take exception at the sweeping generalization you wrote (in bold) above. I don't blame the government for anything, and if you'll reread her post, you'll see CutieGirl wasn't, either. She was simply lamenting the interest rate on her student loans. She didn't blame the state of her grades or her choice of majors on the government.

Watch out for liberal-bashing. Many of us are a whole lot smarter than you realize. Almost as smart as conservatives, I daresay. (I was being sarcastic there. I happen to know I'm 10 times smarter!)
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . Advice Okay, so I am majoring in something that is a pretty crappy degree (think business & behavioral sciences). I am done with all of my classes, except for one. You have to have a 2.0 in order to graduate, but due to many reasons (death of family member, diagnosed with bipolar, etc), I have not been able to maintain that. Basically, I have to take 25 hours (roughly 8 classes) and make all A's. This is going to be nearly impossible to do. I can probably make A's and B's, but this school is hard and Rating: 5
