I don't know what percentage of students fall into that category, but it would be interesting to know. Most students I knew at uni were studying for either a science, business or social science degree. Believe me, we used to rip the p!ss out of the ones doing a social science degree, but I recall that they were a small percentage of students. Couldn't put a number on it though.

Lets just say for arguments sake that 50% of students are studying for worthless degrees. In that case, I think we have only ourselves to blame.
If these students could handle calculus, they wouldn't be studying for a worthless degree. I blame our failing school system, and we are ultimately responsible for that, rather than the students.
