I found all of those classes to be very easy. If you find econ 101 or statistics to be difficult then perhaps college is not for you. Nothing wrong with that as not everyone is college material.
Many people may find econ 101 or stats difficult, and they are definitely college material. Different people have different academic strengths, and because they struggle with quantitative material or words or art doesn't mean they should not be considered college material.
I never took Anatomy, got a "C" in Econ 101, and a "D" in Statistics, so I'd say a 7 for Econ, and a 10 for Stats. Most of my other grades were "A"s so I wouldn't say a person isn't college material if they don't do well in the above subjects. If you're not interested in the subject matter (and I wasn't in those two courses), you're not likely to try as hard and your grades will reflect that effort. Of course, these courses also depend on the professor (and the amount of work and/or difficulty of exams and grading) and the school (and whether they practice grade inflation or not).
Anatomy - NA (I took Chemistry and Physics which I would rate 2/10 until I got to quantum physics which is a 9/10 and my brain hurt)
Econ 101 - 1/10 (micro and calculus go together)
Micro - 9/10 (without calculus in the MBA program. I wanted to kill the prof.)
Macro - 5/10 (I am not sure that Janet Yellen understands what it going on.)
Statistics - 4/10
Econometrics - 8/10 (at the PhD level at Harvard. I was out of my league.)

Yes. This grad student dropped out of Econ, made a C in Statistics and an A in anatomy and physiology (granted it was animal A&P).
I don't believe that everyone should go to a four year college but I do think that most people need some sort of post high school education. Community college, 2 year or trade school unless they went through high school actively training/interning at a job.
did not take anatomy and physiology. i took a stats class my soph year from a nice older Asian lady who you could tell could have cared less. i bought the book, never took it out of the plastic wrap, showed up every other class, passed the final and the course and learned NOTHING about stats. ECON 101 was macro taught by a guy who was a great teacher. learned a lot, got a B+. Micro the next semester was ROUGH. Nice prof, not a great teacher, class curriculum was tough to comprehend. got a C in micro to go along with the B+ in macro.
