My college friend says Wow, that is a LOT of work!
Is there an expectation now that being educated is NOT a lot of work?
It depends. In sciences, people understand that it's a lot of work. In what Robert
Heinlein called the "fuzzy subjects", you can often be a party animal who does
very little real work and get a degree anyway. If so, it doesn't mean you learned
anything and it doesn't mean the field you picked as a major has any merit or
usefulness.
