Gender studies.
Not one of you could do it.

CS and EE

Symplectic Geometry, Algebraic Number Theory and Algebraic Geometry

>>10390921
I'm well aware they're not degrees per se but they're PhDs.

>>10390894
white males can't get a Gender studies degree, unless becoming Trannies

>>10390875
Chemistry because it's BORING

>>10390982
No scratch that. Medicine because of the work ethic required and it's longer than chemistry. Both of these I guess. But medicine first.

>>10390875
What you like the least, and is most difficult for you.

>>10390987
> Medicine because of the work ethic required
You give people too much credit.
I don't think people on average are too ethical to become doctors.
Most would have no qualms about doing so.

>>10390999
Wasted trips. By work ethic I mean how you have to spend time on it because you can't pass using your IQ because it's memorization.

>>10390987
>Medicine because of the work ethic required
Try doing a degree in synthetic chemistry and tell me again that you work harder in medicine

>Chem Major
>Year 1:
Calculus 1&2 <or AP Calc>
Gen Chem 1&2 + Lab <or AP Chem>
Analytical Chem

>Year 2:

Physics for Premeds 1&2

>Year 3:
Inorganic 1&2
Pchem 1&2 + Lab
Instrumental Analysis
<Biochem>

>Year 4:
<fucking nothing>

The hardest part is fucking up a lab near the end and having to waste hours restarting it at the beginning.

>>10391676
everything except pchem looks like its a free A desu

>>10390875
Pure Mathematics.

>>10390875
Engineering because it is the STEM major which requires the most creativity

He's referring to all the bullshit around the MD, not the difficulty of the content.

Hmm, wonder why there's a physician shortage in the US...

>>10392604
All that ends up leading to physicians having the highest suicide rate of any profession including military in the US.
Also residency is between 3-7 years on typical areas.

Still you earn more than everyone else at the end of it. Nobody rivals you but lawyers, and brokers

>>10392632
Lawyers can only rival in the upper brackets, low and medium tier doctors will make more than low and medium tier lawyers.

Computational physics (if you actually want to be a good computational physicist)

>Need to be a great programmer, needs to know several languages
>Need to know a lot of high level maths
>Need to know a lot of physics
>Oftentimes need to know a lot of chemistry too
>Need to know tons of engineering concepts from different fields of engineering
>Need to be really creative to develop high-performance programs
>Just generally it requires a lot of fucking work

Basically you need to know everything, you need to know it at the highest levels of sophistication, you need to be super creative and you need to work damn hard.

It's the hardest degree by far.

Plasma modelling. Advanced EM modelling incorporating arbitrarily complex material structures in the domain. Molecular dynamics. CFD. Computational quantum mechanics. Bioinformatics.

It's also the most rewarding imo. By necessity, you need to understand damn well the theory of anything you model. Also, once you become an expert, you can make a program that models some phenomena and sell it for thousands or even tens of thousands of dollars, *per license*.

I dare anyone to prove me wrong.

>>10390894
i literally could, my school requires two of our gen eds to be senior level courses so i incidentally took the highest level gender/diversity course offered here and got an a

>>10390894
I couldn't do sociology. The moral implications of that evil science set me off every time

>>10390921
Those are just topics in math. Not degrees in any form

Sounds like the life

>>10390982
That's just your opinion, though. In general, this >>10390993 is probably the right answer. It's always easier to get a degree in a subject that's fun to learn for you compared to something that bores you to death, just because investing the time required will feel less like a chore and you'll be more inclined to actually do something for your degree instead of just watching animu and masturbating.

I guess everyone agrees

Something about not eating and always having a hard time leads to growth that rich kids don't have.

Sociology is evil. It's the study of how to manipulate people without them knowing in order to control society. It's god damned Orwellian and I can't even stand thinking about it

>>10390875

It's honestly about just whatever doesn't bore you to death, and what your personal values are.

I did EE and Biology, I am in the last year of a CS program.

I find CS the easiest of all of them only because I have no life and feel compelled to build deep learning stuff from the morning to the night, whereas I did the bare minimum in EE and Bio to keep straight As, while fucking around in CS.

I think a degree in Pure Math would be the hardest, I'd rip my eyes out over the lack of pragmatism and the sheer difficulty of it.

>>10390875
I find it very hard to get a degree in building muscle, this is because I don't know how.

>>10394629
Tell us more. I’m taking a sociology class and I take the discussion to its logical end faster than the professor just to watch em’ seeth.

>>10392944
He probably means doing graduate work in those fields
