Most people that "drop out" of college actually were flunking out. Yes there are all kinds of reasons people leave college but those that quit usually do it because they are failing. And you really don't get to the difficult classes until later in your degree so if you flunk out in year one, you never saw the "hard" 400 level classes.

And yes, there are easy majors and there there are difficult majors that "weed out" those that can't pass the challenging classes.

Nothing personal, some folks are talented at math or problem solving or science and others are very skillful with motors, using their hands etc.

It takes all kinds in this world. The real talent is to know what skill set you have and would enjoy pursuing rather than wasting time and money on something else.

How many people you know that flunked out of college? Not dropped out, fluked out, were told they couldn't get a degrer. The answer zero, you keep paying and you get to stay, and eventually get that degree. Weather you learned anything or not. I've heard the athletes with four years of high school English, and PASSED two years of college English and couldn't write a sentence if you doubled their nil! I had a 4.0 at a community College for a year. Unlike most people who go to college, I had to pay 100% out of my pocket. No help from parents or government. After a year I failed to see the advantage of paying for something I would never use. Dropped out and got a job, which is exactly what most people would do if they had to pay for it on their own. The few that did , got loans and now they don't want to pay them. Hmmm

A wealthy fellow once told me back in the 80s, you go to college to learn to work for others. That’s what he learned by his second year of college.

I hire those folks to work for me and make me money.

He went into the used car business and then dealerships. He’s from jasper and his brother had dealerships there too. Crump was his name.
