>Anyone can major in Art History without a lot of effort.

Another day, another Hacker News comment asserting the inferiority of any non-technical subject based on zero experience or evidence.

I don't think we need evidence, it's like common knowledge. Medicine, engineering or CS students don't have really time to party around like the art history, journalism and liberal studies folks do.

That is the cliche that I learned in college too, but it seems to be true. Could it be that history and business majors are the smart one because they still do lots of hard work (like 'us' math people) but do it fast enough to party a lot? Yeah, no.
