Everything is a joke when you compare it to Honours Physics. I'm in honours chem and the shit they talk about there is MIND blowing. Like it literally hurts your brain to think about shit in the ways they do. Be grateful.

Again, it's because your brain doesn't work that way. Some people find it quite easy. Personally, I find physics hard, but just because it would be a hard major for me, that doesn't mean it's hard for everyone, nor does it mean the people who find it easy are "smart". They're smart in terms of physics, but not necessarily in terms of anything else.
Just like when people ask for an easy course or program, asking which ones are hard is not going to give any useful answers. |

I have a friend who takes chem courses "for the fun of it". I take French and Spanish courses "for the fun of it".
We don't really understand each other...

hardest majors are ones that you have no interest in.

I think the best person to answer this question is someone who have got all the degrees in the world.
Find one if you can, and tell everyone here the result.

What shit is mindblowing, exactly? To a math major with a bit of topology and geometry, most of the physics that people find "crazy" is pretty straightforward, just a special case. However, that same person may find a lab-heavy chem course really difficult. |

You are obviously confusing social science with social work. VERY VERY different. |

Does social work require education at all? I mean I can get arrested and do social work without education, or payment for that matter.... |

Yeah, who cares they don't pay you, they will provide you with medical care, home and food. There's so much food in jail, the inmates toss salads in their free time.

Social Work 1A06 is an easy class. But the program itself is brutal. 50 page pagers, running seminars, spending an entire semester doing an advocacy project, and I didn't even mention the two 390 hour placements which you will learn to take various forms of abuse from people. Last week someone at work someone had to do a suicide intervention. Yeah, totally an easy major to go into

Anybody that says one major is "easier" than another is lying. There's no such thing as "easy" and "hard" majors, since everything is 100% dependent on your inherent skills and interests. The workloads may be in stark contrast to one another, but that just means that it may require more work to complete a certain degree. For me, science, commerce, engineering, etc. are out of the question, because I can't think in terms of numbers. Give me an essay to write, however, and I'll have no problem coming up with an original argument. Some of my friends, however, are in math-based programs and can't reason through an essay to save their lives. Like I (and others) said, it's all about personal interest and skills.
