I graduated with a degree in electrical engineering in 1996. To this day, it is the hardest thing I've ever done. The attrition rate was incredible. Out of my class of 65 students in second year EE, only eleven of us made it to graduation on time. A few others graduated a year or two late after having to repeat courses. It's definitely no picnic. Although I don't disagree that any physics major is harder.

Architecture student here, we don’t have to study much but we do spend hours and hours working on projects and designs. I can easily spend 40 hours a week on studio work and all nighters are pretty common. Especially when big deadlines/final project due dates are coming up, it’s normal to rack up over 30 hours of work in a single weekend.

It'd be interesting to see a top 10 hardest non-STEM list. I would guess Philosophy would top the list. Lots of deep thinking and learning difficult concepts.

As an Engineering Physics major graduating 40 plus years ago, thanks for the shout out. Very few people understood what the major was about except I was in every course others thought were some of the toughest regardless of their what we now call STEM major. Your EE classes are with EE majors, your mech eng classes are with MEs, your physics classes are with physics majors. You don’t get a break. It prepared md well for many challenges.

Hi Shane, a high school student here, could you make a video on what to prepare in high school for college? Or any high school related videos would be nice too, thanks!!

[fazlurraqeebsyed]

What shane is saying about electrical engineering is so true. My dad has a doctorate degree in the field, ( he studied it his entire life), and when he was doing his doctorate, I was like 8 yrs old (now 16) and so I saw him literally pull all nighters, and often times slaughter his free time for studying. ( He had only 2 bs during his masters) so what shane is saying about electrical engineering degrees is so true.

Difficult courses can be classified into two categories
1. LOAD DIFFICULT COURSES
These are courses that are hard because students are required to do more in a short period of time . The concepts ain't very hard though. Examples include, Medicine, Law, Most Engineering courses

2. INTELLECTUALLY DIFFICULT COURSES
These are courses that are hard because the concepts are too difficult to understand. Most of these courses are theoretical and abstract in nature . Examples include Pure Mathematics, Theoretical Physics, Some Engineering Courses ( decided to add it after a tough consideration )etc
I hope this helps 😊 cheers 🙏😊

Computer Engineering/Physics major here. It's a fun time.

Hi shane, I've watched your channel for a while now and I think it's really helped me get a more focused trajectory toward what I want to major in. I started as a pure physics major, but with your channel, I decided to look more into Health degrees and more specifically where they overlap with physics since I know a lot about and have a passion for physics already. So I decided on Medical Physics. I highly recommend you do some research about it or incorporate it into a video down the line. I think it perfectly encapsulates the benefits of an engineering/physics degree with those of health degrees. Lemme know what you think! Thanks! and keep up the good work

[crunchynapkn]

In my personal experience I've found computer science much more difficult that Engineering as there is never a correct answer and an endless number of more correct ways to do something. Moreover, you have to create something with the intention that someone else can read it and understand the intricate details which means you have to understand everything you're doing really well so that you can explain it and simplify it.

You should consider Econometrics or Actuarial Science. They are a combination of mathematics, statistics, economic theory, and computer science. I am an Econometrics student myself, and I can say that we have many extremely abstract courses with mixes of high-level mathematics and economics theory. For Econometrics, you need to know very deep theories in statistics like likelihood ratios, limiting distributions, stochastic calculus, and asymptotic theory. As for mathematics, we study multivariate analysis, linear algebra in complex domains, numerical analysis, time series, and dynamical systems. On top of that, recently they even added machine learning courses to the curriculum. To summarize, Econometrics and Actuarial Science majors require a deep understanding of abstract Mathematics, in addition to a strong knowledge of Economics and Finance, and sufficient skillset in Computer Science.

Great analysis, Shane. You do such a great job analyzing majors and careers. Thank you and God bless you.

[idonothaveaname]

Hello, last year i graduatet in MSc in Finance and Accounting, I actually found accounting pretty hard, I mean yes you can pass it but to master it you need a lot of knowledge, and the same goes for my bachelor studies who were in Finance and Accounting too, during that time I actually did Calcolous 1 and 2, Statistics and Probability, we had a lot of economy clases like advanced micro and macro, all I want to say is that I found the studies in that field pretty hard. I can not compare it to the ones you listed in the video, but all degrees have their own dificulties. Thanks.

[antoniomarques]

I graduated (this year) in engineering physics and I disagree when people say that engineering physics is harder than physics. We have physics courses in the physics department, engineering courses in the engineering department and math courses in the math department. But only the physics and math ones are hard for us (in comparison). Physicists have it harder because we (engineers) are having electrical engineering courses while they're (physicists) are getting even more courses in quantum mechanics, particle physics, relativistic eletromagnetism, etc...
It's quite common hearing "oh, your major physics must be very hard because it's physics and engineering combined". But, actually, it's the engineering part that saves many of us (I don't think I would survived a only-physics major).

[Sheikxlove]

You got to separate the types of math, pure mathematics is so conceptually hard. I am honestly surprised that I ended up getting the degree. I decided to get my masters in systems engineering (yes, I know it's probably the easiest engineering major) but I took civil & mechanical engineering courses but none of them challenged me as mathematics, it just more load intensive work than conceptual

[a_aw]

A very good career path that I see many people do is undergrad physics with masters in EE. There is so much versatility in this. However to be able to do a master in EE you would probably have to get some internships to do with engineering or do some engineering courses.

[joshfields]

Hi Shane, I’m a high school senior really looking into majoring in Astrophysics and it would be really cool if you made a video on what u think of the degree and the stats / job prospects and stuff.

[LangmuirProber]

Double majoring in chemistry and applied mathematics w/ minor in physics. It can be hard at times but if you show up to class it really isn't too bad...

[Shade_w]

Hello Shane!

Can you talk about the quantum majors like quantum physics, quantum information, quantum mechanics, quantum computing etc.
I'm still in 7th grade but I find your videos interesting! I did the wisk-5 for kids test and scored a 138, but I struggle with the motivation part of school.
