<p>I respect liberal arts majors for having the courage to major in something that probably won’t make any money. But I also respect science majors for having the courage to take on studying tonnes of dense information that makes me want to gouge my eyes out.</p>
<p>^^^Agreed on business. Economics I understand more because that’s academic, but business to me is something that should not be taught in an academic institution.</p>
<p>Impressed by: Engineering majors who do not complain/cry about stuff, haha. All bio-related majors (biochem, pre-med, biological sciences, neurobiology and physiology etc).</p>
<p>I’m surprised so many people are impressed by science majors…maybe it’s since my college is so artsy and everyone seems to disregard the sciences and only care about performing arts and liberal arts. =/ Also, why are people acting like a Bachelor’s in science guarantees a job but Bachelor’s in liberal arts doesn’t…you need an advanced Psych degree to go into that field, but you also need an advanced Chem degree for that field…the job opps out of undergrad can’t be that different.
Looks like Engineering and Major Payne ftw </p>
<p>Also impressive:</p>
<p>Architecture - most underrated in terms of difficulty! Those kids live in their studios, so much work! Philosophy is also underrated in terms of difficulty but Arch is wayyy more work.</p>
<p>Finance - my boyfriend does this and it looks SOOOOO boring, i’m impressed by his ability to put up with this day after day and deal with the obnoxious wall-street types in his classes.
nah the only people who wallow in fear of Orgo are non-science preMeds…if you’re a science major your advanced classes will be harder than general orgo…</p>
<p>Human Biology major/Management Science major here.</p>
<p>Impressed by: Chemical Engineering. They take on Organic Chem with full force and Bio majors wallow in fear at the subject when they have to take it. At my school in particular it just seems all the humanity majors can just BS well, not MUCh respect for them other than BSing skills.</p>
<p>Impressed by: I agree with Hawkwings, I’m totally impressed by people who major in social work or some variation of that. People who sincerely can say they chose their major because they love it, not because of the money or because it sounds hard. It is so amazing when someone chooses to do this when they could easily pick something like business where they will likely make a lot more money and not recieve strange looks.</p>
<p>“Architecture - most underrated in terms of difficulty!”</p>
<p>Not really. Used to be one. It’s not hard, just a lot of cardboard cutting and mindless drawing that takes hours. There is is a crap-load of work but its not hard work.</p>
I used to totally agree with this because Social work made me think of humanitarian-minded people saving orphans. But in college it seems that most Social work students are preLaw and are in it because “it’s an easy major so I can keep my grades up and it looks good for Law school!” That surprised me…hopefully it’s just the social work students I’ve met though.</p>
<p>Engineering in general is really hard, I just think Aerospace E sounds the most impressive, it’s rocket science. I don’t know if this is the hardest Engineering or whatever. </p>
<p>@Comiclover: nah it’s a lot more complicated from what I’ve seen…one of my good friends is doing Architecture and it doesn’t look mindless! It requires both artistic and mathematical skills. Interior Design is a lot like Architecture too, and people think of it as “home decor.”</p>
<p>I do not agree about the difficulty but oh well. I dont have to worry about that anymore thank God. :D</p>
<p>I have never thought anything bad about interior design students. I consider them the same as architecture majors since they are in the same studios as the arch kids for the first two years a least - at my school.</p>
<p>I am impressed by Classics majors. I take a good number of Classics courses myself including language course but I am impressed by anyone who makes it their top priority. I am also impressed by hardcore physics majors. Aerospace Engineering is also extremely impressive.</p>
<p>I’m pretty impressed with most majors in which I have no experience. I’m the learn-for-learning’s-sake kind of person. With that said, the ones I admire most are comp lit (my best friend is a comp lit major, and I’m familiar with the staggering workload), physics and math majors, and classics (my other best friend is one).</p>
