It depends. In sciences, people understand that it's a lot of work. In what
Robert Heinlein called the "fuzzy subjects", you can often be a party animal
who does very little real work and get a degree anyway. If so, it doesn't mean
you learned anything and it doesn't mean the field you picked as a major has
any merit or usefulness.
