Can you drop the course? If I had to do that much work for one of my courses, I'd have dropped it in a heartbeat and done a different one.

SLACKER!
I did a maths degree. It was hard work. So bite me.

I laugh at you people and your silly overworked degrees. I only ever did one essay at uni and we were given 2 terms to do it. Mine came to about 7 pages and I got a first for it. And a grand total of about 6 hours assignment work per week, a bit more if I did the optional hard questions.
I swear, I probably did less work than a media studies student

But what's your degree in, what jobs does it qualify you for and what regulatory organisations is it accreditted by? It's all fair and well to say you didn't do any work in uni and got a first but not every degree is worth the same or is as useful as any other. For example, america currently has massive numbers of degree mills where as long as you pay your money and aren't completely useless, you'll get your degree. I remember talking to someone from one of them who was annoyed at getting as low as 95% on a test. When I told them that the average mark over here in the UK was around 50-60% and above 70% was considered a first, they thought I was having a laugh with them. I've heard of universities in america that will even give you an honourary PhD for donating large sums of money.
I'm not implying that your degree is worthless or anything, just that some degrees are a lot harder than others and are much more strictly examined to make sure the degree is of high value to employers.
My degree was maths. Which is like the king of "hard subjects". And it was at a Times top 5 university. 
Which is why I get rather sceptical when people complain about ALL THAT HORRIBLE HARD WORK they have to do at uni.
Oh and the first was only for that particular piece of work, I got a 2:2 overall. Will soon be starting a job making missiles.

I have to confess I have no idea what a physical education degree entails. It *sounds* like a fluffy subject, but that's just because I'm an elitist bugger who thinks that anything not maths related isn't worth doing.
Edit: I'm joking by the way. Please don't hit me.
