They should just cut 30 credits from the bloated general education requirements that most universities have.
Agreed, most students learn little from these classes other then how they f**K up their GPA.
I'm speaking both my personal experience as well as what I've heard from people back at college.
I definitely agree with you, here. Another problem is that so many college freshman have no idea what the hell they want to do, much less how to properly structure 4 years of 120 credit hours. I would've likely been done about a semester or two ahead of my expected graduation date if I wasn't taking unnecessary English Literature classes thinking I would be an English major before settling for Poli Sci. I wouldn't advocate waiting a year or two between high school and college to everyone, but I think I would have truly benefited from it. That said, I did alright within 4 years' time. I would've graduated on time but a last-minute minor declaration in Economics pushed that date back 1 semester.
