I am a sample size of one, but this matches my experiences. I am one of those 'naturals' who got to college, and realized I had three choices:
1. Study twice as hard to become a median student in chemistry
2. Study twice as hard to become a top student in economics.
3. Keep my same work habits to stay a median student in economics.
Shamefully, I chose option number 3 (and am now paying for it by working four times as hard to become a top student in an MS program I probably wouldn't have entered if I'd wised up earlier).
The other point is all those pesky foreigners are now entering the easy subjects like economics and biology.
