When you get to PhD level and beyond and begin researching, every field is going to be hard in a sense.

Objectively hardest though?
1. Physics
2. Biology (easy in undergrad though)/medical (doctor level)/animal science (vet level)
3. High Engineerings (NukeE, AeroE, ChemE, EE)
4. Mathematics (pen, paper, and computer, no need for fancy tools, machines, etc)
5. Chemistry
6. Other Engineerings/comp sci
7. Geology
8. Cyber Security (booming atm, but not sure on difficulty t b h)
9. IT
10. Anything else with "info-" or similar
11. Ecology
12. Anything else with -ology
13. Anything else that doesnt fit into the above categories

Material science I forgot to add but would be somewhere within the existing top five.
All of these are for PhD level shit, fot undergrad I would maybe move biology down to 10, high engineerings to 1 (highest work loads), physics and math to 2, comp sci to 15, and maybe leave the rest.

Physics and maths are the hardest fields.
A lot more smart people go into physics, because math is also useful for brainlets who want to become teachers or economists, but in my opinion real mathematical research is harder.

Asking

is the same as asking

So having mathematics as one of your fields is silly. The difficulty of mathematics can vary depending on subject to any degree you want.

Hey retard,

If your assertion is correct, explain why physicists have to be able to do advanced math, but mathematards aren't smart enough to do advanced physics.

Nobody gives out a literature award to a person for knowing how to read and write. It's assumed you know how to do that if literature is your profession. Stop trying to impress us with your INCOMPLETE education.
