Are STEM majors really that much harder?

It depends really. There are some people in my major who switch to other majors like communications. It leaves a poor image in my mind since these weren’t good students. Oh well perception is reality. I often thought subjects like history, political science, and sociology were very interesting. Would I want to major in them? Maybe, maybe not. Even in STEM people have their strengths and weaknesses.

For instance my geology friends and I have a joke. You either like looking at rocks and minerals all day or you like to be a number cruncher. I like writing so I love looking at rock formations and writing down notes. My other friends are bored to tears and would rather calculate stream gradients. So even in the same major people can have differing views on which part of geology is easier vs what’s harder.

Don’t pick a major on what you think is harder vs easier. Pick a major that you will enjoy and has multiple career opportunities you can see yourself doing.
