University I went to for 10 years let me graduate when I didn't deserve to?

I just received my bachelor's degree in accounting but I know basically nothing about the subject? Reason why it took me so long to graduate is I changed my major about 8 times, took 2 year educational leave & was constantly dropping & retaking classes. My major GPA is 2.1. In few of my senior major classes, I know I got F's but my professors gave me C's. Why is that? Why do I have a bachelor's degree when I don't deserve to have one & have basically no knowledge about the subject?

What's the best way to pay for college when you receive no outside help?

Non-resident tuition is around $5,800 per semester at the university I wish to attend. As a transfer student, I only have 2 years left to my degree which will be around $23,000 total.

Will I be able to afford this if I'm paying for school myself? I don't receive any help from my family. I'll also need to add in the cost of housing, and personal bills. Is it possible?

Specifying pre-professional program on college apps?

On my college application it asks "If you plan to pursue a preprofessional program, please specify which one." I'm not 100% sure but I think I might want to do pre-law.

Is this binding? If i'm admitted and attend this university, do I have to pursue a pre-law program because I said so in my application?

There is this internship position available in calgary and i live in toronto. I'm in my third year of university.They want a resume, cover letter and transcript, and because of my heart surgery I wasnt able to work as hard as I could, so I have a bunch of B+ s on my record. Should I mention that this was the case? on one hand i'm explaining my not so high marks but on the other hand I'm worried they'll think I'm not healthy and I might get sick in case they hire me.

Should my college application essay relate to the major I will be applying to?

The prompt: Describe a significant setback, challenge or opportunity in your life and the impact that it has had on you.

I am considering writing about my experience in Little League Baseball and how I grew from that experience.
But I am not interested in playing baseball in college. I will be applying to possibliy Civil Enginnering or Public Administration.
Should my essay relate more to my applying major? Or is it more important to show admissions that I have grown through my experiences( in Little League)?
