This is true in almost any aspect of life though; however, there is absolutely noway someone can get a major (unless its like anthropology/communications) if they don't have a good amount of discipline.
Being in my 3rd year, i agree there were plenty of knuckle heads in my general classes early on. But its feast or famine, they either grew up or were weeded out.
I completely disagree! I've been in the US Army for 19 years, and I've seen some crazy stuff. In basic training, there was a guy who had to be taught how to wipe his own backside! Another didn't know how to do laundry, many who couldn't do their own laundry, make their bed and so many more stories like that. The ignorance is amazing sometimes, and got worse during the Iraq War when we started taking anybody with a pulse, including criminals and drug addicts. We have administrative clerks who can't type! Drivers who can't drive! It's insane to say people in the Army are more self reliant than collegians, especially graduates! Wow, what world is this from?!?!?!
