No I'm not joking - why don't you read some biographies. As a scientist who has been heavily involved in engineering for >30 years, I can tell you that if you find other subjects so much easier than engineering, you're definitely in the wrong field. I don't know anybody who has been successful that doesn't find technical subjects easier. As a matter of fact, many had difficulties in meeting their humanities requirements in college. The people I work with find reading technical material easier and far more enjoyable than reading a novel. I remember an older colleague telling me as I started on my Ph.D., (somewhat jokingly) that unless I preferred reading science to reading Playboy, I was barking up the wrong tree.
