I'm getting tired of this ranking of area of study by perceived difficulty, largely because it's bullshit, and also because it further entrenches the (largely arbitrary) distinctions between bodies of knowledge.

I was a hardcore anthropology/archaeology major, then psych, then bio/chem, and now I'm a med student. People give me these weird states like these things are fundamentally unconnected to each other, and that's because we - as a society - have built up these notions of incompatible types of knowledge.

If I was somehow put into power in the US education system, I'd advocate hardcore for adding analytic logic and epistemology to the curriculum for kids, because this ingrained inability to reconcile different types of info is ridiculous.

Because of low modern standards. A PhD in those fields is far from easy to achieve.
>music
Because modern music classes are about folk music from irrelevent countries, negro music, and LGBT pop music. If you say "music is easy" to a virtuoso or even a member of a decent orchestra, you're going to be laughed at and given a sample of the practice they require.

[Anonymous No.6668730]

no, the hard part is actually getting something out of your degree. Before I got into Literature I had huge aspirations to be a composer (with a double major in Computer Science and Music Composition) and well into high school I was writing a lot of music and studying the great 20th century composers. But then I looked at what a composition degree would entail and saw that it's just a crapload of basic counterpoint, harmony, form, etc. study for retards for a few years before you can actually take a leap into the 20th century or beyond.

Music DEGREES are for people who will never be great composers, they're for those who like music but aren't smart enough to compose without someone holding their hand.

Anyone who wants to actually be a composer had to be composing music well before they hit puberty, and learned counterpoint and harmony before they hit 18 (at the very latest -- even very late composers, like Stravinsky and Sorabji and Schoenberg learned all that crap well before they hit 19.)

Music CONSERVATOIRES are hard as shit, however, not only to get in, but to excel, because you're going to be among the greatest musical minds of your generation.

[Anonymous No.6669549]

It's not too far off except when taught at a good university Philosophy is not easy. It's certainly not easier than say history or politics and there are quite a few social sciences (geography, psychology etc.) and soft non-academic subjects that are much much easier. I don't think people do art, literature, film or music would argue they do difficult degrees.

Quite a few of these aren't respectable undergraduate degrees though - who does Creative Writing or Education as a BA?

Even having said all that. Philosophy is easy in the sense that you can probably get a low grade quite easily in comparison to mathematics, assuming you avoid any of the more obscure modules (which is impossible at a good school). Who really cares about that though?

It's a bit like saying hiking is an easier sport than cycling which is true to an extent but climbing Everest is still fucking difficult.

[Anonymous No.6669566]

Perhaps some of us have actually studied both and didn't find STEM more difficult.

According to my average grades I find STEM super fucking easy - cuz that's why so many people get really highscores in STEM - it's easy. Hurr durr.

This is well put. I'm of the opinion that pretty much any major, at most schools, can be turned into a joyride; it honestly doesn't matter what area of study you choose.
