As an engineer, we generally think LAS majors are only meant if you're for sure going to pursue a masters, a doctorate, or a professional school (like law school). Otherwise, it is like another four years of high school. I'm not bragging but whenever I had to take an LAS class, I'd show up to class half the time (unless there was an attendance policy, in which case, I'd go in the back corner and read the New York Times) and only do work the night before or day it was due. I'd always get an A because I knew what the teacher wanted. If it was a commie pinko teacher, I'd just knock out a five page ramble about how white male theists ruined society. My European politics teacher was an EU policy wonk - I focused on that. It seemed like LAS teachers were always about doing what they wanted to hear.
Engineering wasn't bad unless you wanted a 4.0. Still, there were a lot of painful moments and times where I had to spend 5-6 hours a day doing homework while my accounting roommates put in one, maybe two hours. Those times sucked. I made it a bit easier by extending my graduation by a semester. Taking 14-15 credits instead of 17-18 was a life saver - especially those high level weedout courses where the professor only cared about assigning the most extremely difficult questions and ignoring the simple concept questions so we could get some kind of understanding as to how these concepts work. I'm glad my job involves almost none of this - I'm virtually an accountant at this point - tracking expenses down to the gnat's ass and getting bitchy about spending money we don't need to in order to secure a bonus, which I will be getting next month.
If I could do it all over again, I'd try to get into financial engineering, writing algorithms for wall street trading.
