<p>I am choosing what I should major in for college and I have narrowed it down to these 6:</p>
<p>Economics
Chemical Engineering
Computer Engineering
Computer Science
Biomedical Engineering
Biochemistry
Physics</p>
<p>Can you please Rank these from Easiest to Hardest? Thanks!</p>

<p>Why should the difficulty of a career determine yours? You should do what you enjoy most regardless of difficulty.</p>
<p>this is ridiculous. not only do i agree with the poster above me but the difficulty of the major depends on a lot of things - ESPECIALLY your school. For example, at Bowdoin the psychology major is ridiculously hard - comparable to Biochem - while other schools consider psych to be a “joke major.” … you’re not going to get any valuable information from this. not to mention the fact that what’s difficult for one person will not be the same for everyone else.</p>
<p>I’m agreeing with ohcollege123; It definitely depends on the school.</p>

<p>Hope this helps.</p>
<p>I mean overall some majors will be harder and some majors will be easier. Some majors have an enormous workload, forcing you to spend a majority of your time studying. Others are a little more lenient. Of course, some schools put more emphasis on certain programs, but overall some majors are much more difficult than others.</p>
<p>I am passionate about all of these majors (I love math and science), so I am looking for a deciding factor. I don’t want to just sail through college without working, but I also don’t want to be pulling all-nighters every few days because of the workload.</p>
<p>It depends on what you are good at and the school.</p>
<p>I would pick whatever intrests you most. If a subject intrests you then you are more likely to do well in. Similarly if you a pick a major just because it is “easy” you could become uninterested and not do as well in your classes. All of these subjects may interest you, but you have to like some more than others. One major might be slightly harder than another, but because all of these majors are in the same general subjects (science and math) I would think that the workloads would also be relatively similar.</p>

When a thread has been answered so well, people should stop posting.</p>
<p>Difficulty is not one dimensional. Is writing your name five thousand times difficult? For a first approximation we can divide difficulty into “intelligence required to do work” and “amount of work”, but even that is just scratching the surface. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>My impression of computer science and physics is that the work is less volumous than in engineering, but the work is more abstract and requires a deeper understanding of the material. </p>
<p>Of course some of this depends on the school.</p>
<p>Note that for economics, the amount of math can vary from very little to nearly as much as a math major. The intellectual difficulty can vary accordingly, based on whether your best subject is math or (non-math) social studies.</p>
