I feel like it is actually too easy to get a university degree. What constitutes a passing grade in a class is a joke, when I did my undergraduate degree, it didn't matter what class it was the class average seemed to always hover around 65% - 70% depending on the class and these were easy Psychology and Sociology classes that I was in. This means that a lot of people are graduating with degrees only knowing that percentage of the material which is unacceptable. There needs to be a higher threshold required to give meaning to university degrees.
