<p>I think the difference between science and humanities/social studies is the purpose. Science concerns itself with explaining the universe – it will explain you why the force of gravity grounds us, why island species differ from continental ones. Whereas the humanitites and social science attempt to describe the world we live in – how do the socioeconomic factors of a neighborhood affect its crime rate, how was WWII won by the Allies against most odds. Seems to me there is more craftsmanship in being a chemist and more artistry in being an anthropologist.</p>

<p>I think It just all depends on where your talents lie. For example, I have a high 90’s average in Physics b, while only having high 80’s in my French and English classes. Its all a matter of what you are good at…</p>
<p>Rob13531: It doesn’t matter where your talents lie. It matters on supply and demand. If the society doesn’t want your talent as much, you’re on your own. If the society wants your talent in a limited amount, but too many people out there want what you want, you’re out in the cold.</p>
<p>i think nanotechnology is very high demand for researchers, but still i dont think it can possibly be as hard as electrical engineering or physics, since nano is only about one concept - altering and arranging the molecules!</p>

<p>This forum is about intense majors, not demanding majors.</p>
<p>According to all the criteria you set, you should pick Physics and minor/double-major in Astrophysics. haha. That perfectly fits your description.</p>
<p>And when you tell people what you’re studying they will stare at you blankly…</p>
