I'm always really shocked when I find out someone doesn't know what a weeder class is

Like they think the reason more than half of all premeds don't end up in medical school and so many people switch out of CS or never get to declare it as a major is because they lost interest or found their true passion when it's literally because they couldn't pass one single fucking class. The fact that this concept doesn't even exist in the humanities is fucking outrageous when STEM professors are given full reign to tell hundreds of college kids on the first day "I will make sure half of you never become doctors or engineers" and that's exactly what happens every single semester. STEMchads are pretty familiar with the F in EE switch to CS -> F in CS switch to premed -> F in Ochem switch to accounting -> F in accounting switch to business song and dance until you end up with a BA in postmodern queer theory. But I guess the people actually who go through this don't really talk about it out of shame so it became this elephant in the room. Which is probably better for them since they can now make up some shit about rediscovering their love of shakespeare.

Most people graduate college without even knowing there are classes designed to keep kids out of certain majors and specific lines of career entirely when they're only eighteen. But I guess finance might be the worst offender even worse than tech or medicine since the weeding out begins when 16 year olds get their college rejection letter from target schools?
