College Majors
1

<p>Hey everyone</p>

<p>i am doing premed and i was wondering what is the easiest major to do at ucla
(if i get accepted that is)</p>

<p>Is history, sociology, or woman's studies the easiest?
also is there an easier major that i did not list, please let me know.</p>

<p>i know i should do a major im interested in, but im not interested in anything that is a major. so really im just looking for the easy major so i can finish all my prereqs for premed on the side without being worried about doing bad in my major classes.
please let me know you opinions on this.
thank you!</p>

<p>I’d compare rankings, this can usually be a good indicator, but not always accurate. Most people would probably say Woman’s Studies is easier… but really it’s something you can’t compare.</p>

<p>For the love of everything, coming from someone who is in a family nearly entirely in healthcare, PLEASE pick a major you wouldn’t mind working in if you could not get into medical school. Especially when the acceptance rate is at 40%, and with a growing population with a growing increase in healthcare, I wouldn’t be surprised if the acceptance rate decreased. All three of the majors you have listed pretty much limit you to being a professor if you were not to get into medical school. Would you even like being a professor?</p>

<p>Just something to consider, that’s all.</p>

<p>Well, firstly, I have to be honest, I find your view on “easy majors” kind of disrespectful. Some people do those majors because they really enjoy them or find them challenging. In any case, history is NOT an easy major. There is a lot of history to know and a lot of connections to make to understand the big picture, as well as holes in our stories because we don’t have enough information to put it all together, and most importantly, history requires a serious cultural perspective shift to understand why people did what they did, and that alone makes history fairly challenging. Also, I’m not sure how you could be completely disinterested in every single major. Keep looking.</p>

<p>I would say History. Women’s studies and other minority studies are all about making minorities look like victims, and directing hate towards whole groups (males, whites, wealthy, etc). They are majors that essentially teach people to hate. Feminism today has become ridiculous. It is about how how to make society favor women in all cases and at all costs. ( Note that I am a female, so I am not a sexist male or whatever. I just think it is very unfair how modern society in American treats men. Equality is what true feminism aims for. Modern feminism, which is what is taught in universities in American, is the opposite of that).</p>

<p>Sociology is pretty much the same as women’s studies, but more about hatred towards the rich. It’s unlike Psychology, which is a science and follows the scientific method. Sociology, at least how it’s taught in american colleges, is just opinions of professors - no evidence at all. If you disagree with them, you would probably get your grades knocked down. </p>

<p>History, although also somewhat corrupted in colleges, has the least ******** of the three. Also, History, although not very employable as a major, is very valuable. After all, those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it. Employers are much more likely to favor a History than the other two options you listed, because History majors know well… History, which means that an employee who carries a history degree also carries good insight and ideas that are learned from the lessons and mistakes of mankind throughout history. </p>

<p>Also realize that these majors offer you few options if you don’t get into medical school, as was mentioned already. Also, competition to be professors is about just as fierce, while a Ph.D takes even long to obtain (7 years) vs 4 years in med school ( ok after med school, you have to do three years of residency, but after that you are pretty much guaranteed a job for life, versus a lot of uncertainty with the Ph.D, especially in fields such as women’s studies, sociology, and history.)</p>

<p>If these subjects are your passion and you feel incomplete without having studied them in college (as I feel about Economics and the sciences), find a way to go to school for free or less than $10k (for your whole undergrad career; not 10k a year!). Start at a CC to test the waters first, and then transfer to the most affordable uni available to you.</p>
