00:00some big egos are about to be shattered
00:03that's right today we are going to be
00:05talking about the hardest
00:07college majors that you can get in
00:09college that's right you think you're
00:12yeah okay well you you probably are
00:16yeah fair play but anyways i lived in a
00:18scholarship hall with 50 dudes from all
00:20different types of majors and i could
00:22which ones had to study all the time
00:24which ones were stressed out all the
00:26and which ones are just partying like
00:28it's 1989. and i am just going to tell
00:30you right away you are probably going to
00:32be surprised by this list
00:34engineering the one that you all think
00:36is going to be number one
00:37isn't so before we begin this video
00:39right after you boop the like button in
00:41order to defeat the evil youtube
00:43go down below and type what degree you
00:46think is going to be the most
00:47difficult all right so starting the list
00:51number eight is going to be biology and
00:54of course there are a ton
00:55of different variations of this degree
00:57one of them would be cell and molecular
00:59biology for instance
01:01and the average student is going to
01:02spend around 18 hours and 40 minutes
01:04preparing for these classes every single
01:07week now this is going to be especially
01:09hard for people who don't have very good
01:11memories so if someone has an incredible
01:14this one might be one of the easiest
01:16ones you could possibly get
01:17but everybody's gonna be different i
01:19happen to think that my memory isn't all
01:21that great and so some of the hardest
01:22classes for me were memory intensive
01:24classes like anatomy for instance
01:27however you are going to get a good dose
01:29of other subjects as well so for
01:31cellular and molecular biology for
01:32instance you are going to be taking a
01:34lot of chemistry classes
01:36in fact there are going to be many
01:37courses you take that are going to
01:39require a tremendous
01:40amount of chemistry and mathematics so
01:42some of them are going to include
01:44chemistry biology math biochemistry
01:46ecology marine molecular ecology and
01:49immunology on top of that is going to
01:52require quite a bit of
01:54lab experience now for some people
01:55you're going to love labs for other
01:57people they're really annoying because a
01:59lot of the time you have to go back
02:00and you know check the petri dish to see
02:02what's going on in there and if you mess
02:04anything up then you have to start over
02:05again people who have worked in labs a
02:08exactly what i'm talking about and after
02:10studying biology you will never be able
02:12to do a normal handshake again without
02:15especially after 2020. all right so this
02:17is one that pretty much everyone who's
02:19going for a health or
02:20science degree is going to have to take
02:22plenty of now the average hour studying
02:24for class each week is going to be just
02:27some of the classes you're going to take
02:28are going to be general chemistry
02:30physics biology organic chemistry and
02:32maybe physical chemistry as well and
02:34then on top of that you're gonna have to
02:35take some of the standard classes that
02:37pretty much everyone in science and math
02:38has to take like statistics and calculus
02:41now chemistry majors are gonna spend a
02:44in the lab working with different
02:45chemicals doing different experiments
02:47after you're done you have to make lab
02:50reports which those can take a long time
02:52now chemistry is gonna have quite a bit
02:54of memorization so if you're someone
02:56who's pretty weak in that department
02:58it might be a little more difficult for
02:59you but at the same time it's also gonna
03:01be conceptually more difficult than
03:03something like biology a lot of people
03:05have trouble with classes like organic
03:06and physical chemistry
03:08and the reason for this is because
03:09there's a lot of problem solving there
03:10you're gonna have to be
03:12you know visualizing different chemicals
03:14in your head and figuring out what
03:15happens when they collide and you have
03:17to think about what happens on a micro
03:19as well as a macro level so yeah if
03:21you're somebody who wants to do a hard
03:22science like this and challenge yourself
03:24chemistry can be pretty tough
03:26a lot of people go for biochemistry
03:27where they get a good mixture of biology
03:30and this is really great if you're
03:31trying to become a doctor or maybe a pa
03:34something along those lines all right so
03:36number six on the list everybody's been
03:39waiting for this one it is going to be
03:41computer science i know it i know it so
03:44you know i had to put this one in the
03:46somewhere i saw my shot and i took it
03:48now this one is increasingly in high
03:50demand in terms of the skills that it
03:53however it is relatively rigorous you
03:55are going to spend a ton of time
03:58troubleshoot and problem solve as well
04:01code now on top of that you are going to
04:03be studying a good amount of mathematics
04:05as well as the fundamentals of how
04:06computers work in general
04:08some of the classes you might take would
04:10include algorithms discrete structures
04:12computer architecture
04:13c plus plus python java as well as many
04:16other types of languages
04:18those who love tinkering with computers
04:19and love a challenge may find a good
04:21match with this degree
04:23i i see this as an absolute win number
04:26five on the list is going to be
04:28architecture now when it comes to the
04:30sheer amount of time you spend studying
04:33hours a week which is the highest on the
04:35entire list so you could make a good
04:37argument that architecture is the
04:38hardest and when it comes to
04:40architecture you have to be
04:41extremely well-rounded so not only do
04:43you have to know a lot of mathematics
04:46but you have to know the history as well
04:48and then on top of that you have to be
04:50very well versed in art
04:52architecture is extremely
04:53interdisciplinary so you could argue in
04:56some ways this could be the hardest on
04:59and again it's really going to come down
05:00to the person your own personal
05:02strengths what you like what you don't
05:04like and your passions
05:05but when you're talking about the
05:06average person i think there are some on
05:08the list that are going to be even more
05:10difficult number four on the list is
05:13math math is hard now math is almost
05:16like the language of the universe
05:18because everybody can look at a math
05:20equation and it really doesn't matter
05:21what language you speak
05:22they understand it two plus two will
05:26although when it gets complicated it
05:27might look like a foreign language
05:29now if you are somebody who understands
05:31the language of math try not to get too
05:32excited here just because you're good at
05:34something that most people hate got so
05:38excited now along with taking the
05:39standard classes that everybody else is
05:42like calculus and statistics you are
05:45much more deep when it comes to
05:47mathematics we're going to be talking
05:48about differential equations
05:50single and multi-variable calculus
05:52linear and abstract algebra real
05:54probability and often computer science
05:57now some schools are a little bit
05:58different than others some of them focus
06:00more on the theoretical mathematics side
06:03and then some of them focus on more
06:04practical math but regardless it is
06:07very challenging especially if you
06:08consider the average person just
06:10isn't all that good at math however if
06:12you're somebody who loves math and
06:13you're really smart this might be pretty
06:16number three on the list is probably
06:18going to come as a surprise but it's
06:20the pre-med track now this isn't
06:24but it's a bunch of classes that you
06:26have to take if you want to apply to
06:28medical school and you can technically
06:29major in just about anything in order to
06:31get into medical school as long as you
06:34classes and the classes themselves
06:36aren't necessarily as hard as a lot of
06:38the other ones on this list
06:39what makes this really hard is the fact
06:41that you have to get ridiculously good
06:43grades in order to get into medical
06:45school so the average gpa for people who
06:48medical school is about 3.71 and
06:50especially when you consider that a lot
06:52of them come from the plus minus system
06:54that's extremely impressive so with the
06:56plus minus system if you get anywhere
06:5990 to 94 that means you get an a
07:02minus that is a 3.7 gpa so these people
07:05who get into medical school
07:07if they come from a plus minus system
07:08are literally averaging an
07:10a so to be honest a lot of these classes
07:12aren't going to be the most difficult i
07:13mean physical chemistry organic
07:16pretty tough but they aren't going to be
07:18like incredibly difficult
07:19there's going to be a lot of
07:20memorization involved for instance so
07:22there you are going to be studying quite
07:24but realistically speaking they're not
07:26going to be as hard as like engineering
07:27or a lot of the math classes but what
07:29makes this so difficult is you pretty
07:30much have to get an a in every single
07:32class and then of course
07:33everybody else in the class is also on
07:35the pre-med track and they're trying to
07:37and on top of that if you wanted to get
07:38into med school you have to do a lot of
07:40extracurriculars like
07:41shadowing getting a job internships etc
07:44seriously when i was in undergrad and i
07:46was taking these science classes it
07:47seemed like every person i met
07:49told me that they were pre-med all
07:55and then at the end of the three years
07:57or so a lot of them had switched to
07:59nursing or pharmacy or something else
08:01because of how rigorous this is and i
08:03know one person who applied to med
08:05four years in a row that's right so she
08:07graduated from college she applied that
08:08year she got rejected
08:10four years in a row and then she finally
08:12gave up another person applied three
08:14years in a row and finally got accepted
08:16on the fourth year so for that reason
08:17the pre-med track is extremely
08:19competitive and i guess you could add
08:21like a bunch of other things in here
08:22like let's say you're trying to go to a
08:24law school that's probably also going to
08:26be very competitive as well
08:28number two on the list is going to be
08:33engineering all right so i put this one
08:35as number two on the list and you know
08:38i'm going to get a bunch of triggered
08:41comments they're going to be telling me
08:43down below why they should have been
08:45number one on the list very sad but the
08:48truth is maybe it actually is number one
08:50and i just put it as number two because
08:51i might get a bunch of comments and
08:53that'll trigger the youtube algorithm
08:54just kidding but this one is going to
08:56have the second most amount of time when
08:58it comes to studying every week
09:00most of the majors are going to range
09:02somewhere around 20 hours a week in
09:05now of course some of the engineering
09:07majors are going to be harder than
09:08others there's a lot of arguments here
09:10about which one is the hardest
09:11most people say electrical chemical and
09:13then a lot of really smart people go
09:16aerospace engineering so those three are
09:18probably the hardest but again
09:20a lot of argument there let me know down
09:22in the comments which ones you
09:24are the hardest i will say from my own
09:28the smartest person i've ever met in my
09:32was an aerospace engineer it was one of
09:34my roommates back in college when i
09:35lived in a scholarship hall
09:37this guy was so smart it's actually
09:40painful to think about okay like
09:42literally the smartest person i've ever
09:44met first of all he had a photographic
09:46memory or an eidetic memory
09:48he could remember just about anything
09:50literally reading it one time
09:52didn't have to write it down didn't have
09:53to read it a second time
09:55it was absolutely ridiculous how good
09:58on top of that his mathematical ability
10:01quantitative ability and just problem
10:05was ridiculously good i remember two
10:07particular occasions that really stand
10:11honestly there were a lot more than this
10:12i remember a couple of my friends and i
10:14i think we were on zoom or some other
10:16platform where you can like talk to each
10:19and we were all doing this quiz where
10:21you type in the names of harry potter
10:24okay so apparently there's like over 500
10:26harry potter characters and you'd like
10:28the name and see how many of them you
10:30could actually remember from the book
10:32and i forgot the exact number but i
10:33think we got to somewhere around like
10:35200 and we couldn't think of any more at
10:37that point my roommate
10:38walks into the room he asks me what i'm
10:41doing and he just starts like naming off
10:43characters just off the top of his head
10:46like typing them in and he names off
10:48like an extra 150 characters that we
10:50didn't even think of just off the top of
10:52his head he's only read
10:54each of the books one time and some of
10:57the other people that were on this quiz
10:58had read them like you know two or three
11:01and he still just remembered and not
11:02only did he remember the first name
11:04right on this quiz all you had to do was
11:05just type in the first name and and that
11:08but he would also remember their last
11:11he is so great and honestly i think he
11:13probably could have gotten to like
11:15450 out of 500 whatever the max was
11:18if he wanted to but he just got bored
11:20after a while and then the second
11:21occasion that i remember with this guy
11:24was i was studying for a really
11:26difficult chemistry test i think it was
11:27like organic chemistry
11:29and he just walked into the room you
11:31know i was studying this part and i was
11:33having a lot of trouble with it and it
11:34was really frustrating
11:35and you know he starts talking to me and
11:37i'm just telling him about how you know
11:38this part is really difficult
11:40he looks at it for like 30 seconds and
11:43he tells me what the answer is
11:45and he's never even taken this chemistry
11:48he told me that he knew the answer
11:49because he studied like ap
11:51chemistry in high school and he read
11:53part of the chapter that he wasn't even
11:56and he remembered the answer from there
11:58and he was just able to like infer or
12:00deduct the rest of it just off the top
12:02it was like a really complicated thing
12:04it was not not easy at all
12:05so yeah like these guys are like next
12:09some of these engineers are just like
12:11smart as just just absolutely ridiculous
12:13how smart they are i remember this guy
12:15during finals he would
12:16he would just play skyrim the whole time
12:18like he didn't study for any of his
12:19finals he would play skyrim
12:21while everybody else in the scholarship
12:23hall was studying like crazy like 40 to
12:2560 hours a week probably
12:27he was just playing skyrim the whole
12:28time and then he'd aced all of his tests
12:32he won some kind of international
12:33aerospace competition
12:35and he got like a super good like
12:37manager job right out of college
12:39smartest guy i've ever met without a
12:40doubt but with that being said there is
12:43one type of degree that is even more
12:46than engineering degrees can you guess
12:49the name of the major
12:55just kidding it's actually physics and
12:58physics looks kinda like this
13:06but yeah no physics in my opinion is
13:09difficult major that you can take not
13:11only you're going to be studying a lot
13:12of like theoretical stuff like
13:13mathematics but you have to be able to
13:16real world problems you are going to be
13:18studying quantum physics electricity uh
13:22vibrations thermodynamics gravity
13:25it's just a never ending stream of
13:28extremely difficult classes now this one
13:30is going to be in the top five when it
13:32comes to the amount of time you have to
13:34studying but the reason this is number
13:35one is because of the fact that physics
13:39have the highest iqs out of all the
13:41different types of majors
13:42that's right physics majors are big
13:46highest iqs out of all the different
13:49just kidding it's about 133 according to
13:52data at the educational testing service
13:54so basically what that means an iq of
13:56130 means you're in the top
13:58two percent of intelligence and some
14:00people would actually consider that to
14:02genius at the very least this is
14:04considered to be borderline genius so
14:06physics major just just like your
14:08average joe sitting in a physics class
14:11is a borderline genius now math and
14:13engineering weren't far behind and a
14:14dark horse there was actually philosophy
14:17philosophy grads are very smart even
14:19though it's not necessarily an extremely
14:20rigorous major they're
14:22really intelligent and the significance
14:24of this is if you are competing as other
14:26people where just the average joe in the
14:28the average major is a borderline genius
14:31that means that the professor can make
14:33ridiculously hard i mean think about it
14:35it makes total sense
14:36usually colleges work on the curve you
14:38know they'll have a certain percentage
14:40of the class that gets an a and a b
14:41etc and so they're just gonna make the
14:43test harder and harder until that curve
14:45is reached but that's just my opinion
14:47don't get mad about it or anything let
14:49me know what you guys think down below
