Film majors have different ways of expressing complaints. If they were complaining about filming, why would they make a skit, which is a film, about said complaint? They would write a lab report.
I had a math teacher once say "in real life there are no part marks. When your final answer is wrong and the bridge collapses there are no part marks" maybe thats why the sciences are so rigorous lol
My Java instructor made it very clear: if the program does not work, you don’t get credit. You don’t get paid for a non functional product in the real world. Boy was he right...
@@lezioniripasso3452 try to automate some of the physics. I think Excel can handle the math well, if you spend an extra 2 hours trying to set up the formulas correctly. Don't forget the units though, cuz excel doesn't care about em and you'll get something weird for an answer when it comes to midterm and final
Do History, especially if you are a leftist. You'll learn the same things, and not get marked off for bringing up how MLK was a pretty hardcore socialist. Or how Reagan is the devil.
@@Ash-ii4hg They teach in poli sci that right wing and center right wing politics always works and leftistism is bad because it is... History classes on the contrary show that numerous leftist movements sparked up since pre-world war 1 and have almost always been thwarted by elites most affected by leftist policy. Why do countries in South America fail? Because it goes contrary to american corporations' interests. Why can't we have socialized health care in the us? Because it goes contrary to big pharma's interests. That being said, its because of the efforts of a lot of these leftist movements that many people in Europe or say Japan have easy access to healthcare, good education, robust pension systems, etc. In regards to MLK, he was pretty openly a socialist. His actions were largely ignored by the elite until he started going after the military industrial complex and how class exacerbates racism. And Reagan was just a piece of shit. Literally Trump before Trump kind of bad. But arguably worse since he surrounded himself with competent crooks.
@@arizona_iced_out_boy I have no idea what you are talking about I'm an engineering student who is take a polisci class this semester and its clear that the prof is very left-wing. I'd say 90% of people in academia are liberal
@@Tirpitzschlachtschifffahrer88 Not really, for example, historical climatology is extremely useful for things like understanding climate patterns and how modern world might be impacted, but to see the impact you need to know what's happening in certain time period and connect everything, like how the Laki eruption that somehow fueled the French Revolution because of crop failure it brings, but first to understand it you need to know France at the time was a agarian society and absute monarchy, and that its economy is already falling apart, and because volcano eventually erupts, knowing that might help government to stay alert for natural disasters that causes nationwide instability.
Hey, here’s the secret: always review what you gonna Learn in a class before it even if it’s for 5 min. Always try to finish projects fast as possible.
Hmmmm i want to say this is ideal to do..... but it might be hard to keep that consistent.... espetially when youre like that engineering dude who has stacks of requirements.... even myself who works in advance still have piles of things to do and will have to avoid things that isnt as important (even if for the long term it is helpful)
Here's another secret: if an exam is open book, don't waste time studying before the exam but instead study during the exam. You have everything you need.
Brian Ngac so you went and got a phd in business, got a cushy job lecturing in business and then decided to go back and do an engineering degree?? why?
@@pugboi8017 My degrees are in Engineering actually (PhD in progress). But because of my industry experience, I was accepted into the School of Business as a fulltime Instructor. The school is paying for my doctorate, so I figure, why not?
Also Engineer. My graduation class made fun of the Construction Science class before graduation. We were waiting in the hall around the basketball court for the college of something to be done, when they ask everyone to line up in alphabetical order per department. The 23 of us in civil engineering line up quickly and watched the 100 or so construction science graduates trying to line up. Someone remarked "Well, there's all the students who couldn't pass Statics." Someone reply "yeah, how hard is it to remember everything equals zero". We all laghed.
@@MrSandman610 I'm actually a mechanical engineer and I survey and assess campus sized HVAC systems at hospitals and universities. Recently I've moved to solar design and solar array layouts for commercial applications. I'm basically a "jack of all trades" at my company and I wear a lot of different hats. A week never goes by without me learning something new. It's very fulfilling finishing a project and reducing a clients energy usage by 30% or more just by optimizing their systems. What I do though is probably vastly different than what civil engineers do. Brian Johnson who also responded to my comment may be able to answer your civil questions better. At the end of the day, any engineering is going to be hard to learn, but, in my opinion, much more rewarding once you get into the work force and apply that knowledge to make the world better.
I was an engineering student 10 years ago and I literally have nightmares where I missed tests or forgot about classes I was supposed to be going to. LOL Engineering leaves lasting mental scars dude. But seriously, I enjoyed the topics. Didn't get much in the way of employment, so take that as you may.....
Jeez I thought I was the only one, I have nightmares that I missed a class, or was late to one. Sometimes the nightmare is just being back in school, seriously man it was brutal.
Im a physics major - which is basically math minus a couple senior-level classes - this is most certainly cap. We have it harder than engineering students
For me the worst part is people wouldn't believe you when you tell them that you almost study the whole day just to keep on or they would simply think you're stupid.
Me as a physics major vs my friend who’s a business major. He’s like “ew i have to take statistics” (which is a class i tutor for lol) while i’m taking E&M and calc 2 😂
As an engineering major, I would honestly take Differential Calc over stats any day. Just too many nCrs and nPrs and division and normal distributions and do I use normalcdf or normal pdf. Can I just do a Bernoulli substitution instead?
lol buuuullllllllshit you are taking e&m and cal 2 at the same time! you're taking a basic university physics course with some electrostatics and what have you, not E&M. Source: Griffith and Jackson
@@thisguy2989 I wasn’t sure on the difference between the two, I always thought E&M was just shorthand for Electricity and Magnetism which is the course I’m taking. My mistake for not realizing they were different 😞 I’m also retaking Calc 2 this semester instead of taking Calc 3 like I was supposed to cause I wanted a better grade than I got last time so I don’t know if that makes a difference about where I should be? I’ve heard of the textbook/author you’ve mentioned from watching some other physics RU-vidrs and I’m excited to get to what E&M is, but I didn’t mean to misinform people of what course I was taking, I’m sorry.
Actually, they are bulk ordered from the same place, since I know the companies that sell the furniture also tend to also make barracks furniture for the military.
I got the highest achievable Honors in Computer Science and I found it to be surprisingly easy actually. I spent 99.9% of my free time playing games and skipped like half of all lectures in the last year and still graduated with flying colors and landed a great software engineering job. I almost never had to study or do homework.
My biggest accomplishment in college was failing my chem eng class with 14% by mid terms and getting back up to a 60 after finals. I don’t think I ever tried harder to nail a subject in my life
As someone that first majored in political science + economics, and then switched over to engineering, I know the feeling. Could slack off the whole semester in polisci/econ, cram for a few days and get straight As across the board. In computer engineering, slacking off for even a moment would drop my gpa for the quarter by a point or two. Neither is as bad as art though. I remember not even showing up to the class, getting a C- on the midterm, and not showing up for finals, and still somehow got a fucking A.🤣
@@musaratjahan7954 i disagree, because while it is really difficult to do rigourous math, it is thankfully well defined, whereas with art, If you ain't know your theology, Philosophy, mathematics, color theory, and don't have direct access to your unconscious, you ain't getting anything good.
@@liviu445 nonsense. Have you ever taken higher level math classes? Postgraduate and up? Not only do we NOT know the answer, but we don't even know IF there is an answer/solution or proof. The level of abstraction is so high nothing can compare to it. Don't kid yourself into thinking arts can compete with the sheer rigor of mathematics
I’m a Comp sci major, so I’m pretty busy. My roommate is a business major and I kid you not he finished the whole game of thrones in like 10 days, while I was only able to watch like 5 episodes of the clone wars during that timespan.
@@DrLol07 yeah, accounting isn't as difficult as any engineering majors, but it still has some difficult classes in the upper division part. I think the comment just doesn't want to be compared to "normal business majors". Also depends on university. FIU is pretty cutthroat in accounting
As an economics major, I can confirm this is true, I took one computer science module for my elective and that module was equivalent to the workload of 2 or 3 of my modules combined :D
3rd year of cs major in Purdue, 14 outta 24 hours of my day is sitting in front of my Linux and trying to write a project that I feel impossible to be done, and looking at my friends in eco major heading to bar again each night.
There were a variety of reasons but the main two were that it was too stressful, and it was consuming my life. Not only is the subject matter difficult, but the quantity of work you have to do is very difficult as well. So I switched to economics and I had more free time in one semester, than what felt like the last two years. I ended up joining a frat and told the other members that I never could've joined if I stayed in CS simply because of the major's time commitment.
@@MadChickenPictures Damn, one of the few things that excited me amount uni it the 'free time' but that seems unrealistic at this point I guess. Is it the same everywhere? Or were you majoring at a top place? Also I might just consider doing an apprenticeship instead, what do you reckon?
But economy is not that hard, at least for me I was an Engineering student in a Micro & Macro economy class mixed with business people and economy students and I always complaint about how slow was the course. I get it, there's a lot of math behind it but it seems like elementary math compared to the math level I was accustomed in engineering.
@@AB-et6nj I was asking my econ (elective) prof when we would start seeing matrix calculus and frequency domain modelling so that we could actually model things correctly and he said "if the engineers can stop scaring everyone else that would be great".
Isn’t Cornell ranked low for ChemE? I thought the big chemE schools (besides MIT, cal tech, and Stanford) are University of Minnesota, USC, UMich and Berk.
I’m currently getting a degree in supply chain management, and the degree consists of financial and managerial accounting and management, business law, computer science, programming, information technology, economics, and a little industrial engineering. I’m truthfully struggling a bit with all of it, but I find the challenge is a good one. It is doable, but I’m finding I have to spend almost half my time every week dissecting court cases and programming HTML. I didn’t know I had to do all this stuff in a business degree, but I guess it’s helpful to know how to do all these different things if I ever have ever need of them anytime in my career. I was almost thinking of joining law school while taking business law, as the court cases, laws and legal systems completely intrigued me. But then I remembered I was having a few issues keeping up with school as it was, so I decided that might not be such a good idea. This degree feels quite well-rounded, in terms of what you learn and what kind of training you get for multiple jobs in a few different careers, instead of just one career. I think I made the right choice. General business won’t teach you much, but supply chain management most definitely will, if you’re looking for more substance and more jobs applicability.
Sounds good. I took the information systems program under the business school and enjoyed it. The hardest classes were calculus and regression from a math standpoint. Supply chain, strategic mgmt and the programming courses were the most fun. Can I ask what school you attended? Thinking about a masters in supply chain.
The part where he shows his google calendar made me laugh so hard, because it took me back to how it really was! I’m laughing because I was so damn busy and it never really hit me haha
Asa econ major, i feel we are in between (depending on ur program). Like u can joke with an engineering student that the business majors have it too easy, but when you sit with other engineers or same type of majors... You Are The Prey lol.
i was a self taught Programmer, when i started cs. i was black out drunk downtown most of my 1st year. same with the 2nd year. and then 3rd year hit and i dropped out and just got a job instead. Currently a senior engineer at a tech company here in town. life is strange
Not sure where you live, but how difficult is it to get a job without a degree? I'm in a similar position, and I've already had a taste of the awesome American software engineer $ though some internships, so I'm not particularly looking forward to going back to classes in a couple of weeks.
@@kingsnowy3037 well im Scandinavian ( i live way up north ). but for me it was all about working on projects in my spare time building up a portfolio of repositories while i was leeching of my parents for a few months. Getting a job without a degree could be harder if you dont have anything to show for what you can do. its mostly about proving that you're worth the investment of hiring you. A degree helps with that, but in my case i wouldnt hire anyone just because they have a degree. i would actually take the tech interview more seriously and really challange them, because i know that uni doesnt teach you how to write code, they just teach you how to think about it. while an applicant who doesnt have a degree but a few really solid projects in their portfolio is pretty much already hired in my mind as long as the "vibes" are right from that person. But it all depends on the company you're applying for, normally if its a larger corp they'd want a degree and a few years of experience. i personally prefer smaller teams and companies, for a multitude of reasons that i cant be bothered to walk through. also Networking with local companies and potential business partners at local conventions, seminars or workshops etc, is almost a must. anyways, dont get intimidated, we all get imposter syndrome from time to time. and make things that you think are cool and interesting, share it with the world.
@@floatyseagull9472 well for me it all started at 12 when my dad gave me some of his old books, one of which being "the c programming language" by Kernighan and Ritchie and a crappy book on writing interfaces with Visual Basic. Then i realized i could make games, and oh boi, i almost dropped out of hs because i didnt have the time to do both school and learn new engines and frameworks. then again, i've always been interested in math and abstract thinking
This is so true! I had to take a business class at Santa Ana City College one time (I was hoping to eventually get an EE). I opted for Business Law because it sounded both interesting and useful. Almost all the other students were either Business or Phys Ed majors. Several weeks later I happened to hear several students bitching about the class being so tough. I approached and said I thought it was pretty easy because if you read the text you had about 90% on most tests and quizzes. Then I said "If you think this is tough then just put down your books and come up and sit-in on my Calculus class with me and let me know what you think then." I got kind of A dazed look I think, and something muttered like what's that or why would you take that or whatever. I didn't realize till later the other students majors. I was the only Science or Engineering type in the class. I enjoyed the class so much I took another semester of it.
Law is just super boring for most people. Hard to learn because of that. I take statistics/any data science or math module over civil right/commercial law any day.
One of our professors taught engineering courses for many years, and he understood the students so well. Whenever he sees a half-empty lecture hall, the first thing he would ask is if we had midterms scheduled for other classes, lol. He would then try to avoid teaching heavy materials that day so the students who missed wouldn't fall behind. Best prof ever. I still remember him to this day 🥹🫶
When I had to finish electoral classes not affiliated with engineering, the difficulty was night and day. Easily some of my least stressful classes (emphases on the easy).
CompE at UIUC and can confirm this is true. Seeing that spreadsheet really hit home, I literally have to precisely time everything right just to barely keep up with the workload. Then my roommates have the audacity to ask me why I never go out, b**h look at my weekly spreadsheet!
@@liamdavis2068 it wasn’t a double major it was one major that combined aspects of both. Ended up changing majors and am working on being an aircraft mechanic lol
@@omniyambot9876 as a junior about to go into senior year I dont feel very smart most of the time in this major, but there are also times where I realize that I actually know a lot more than I think I do. I think this sums up the major pretty well 😂
@@omniyambot9876 go online and watch people doing work in that field. After not sleeping for a day. This is my ultimate major test. Whichever vids you don’t doze off to are the ones which you subconsciously don’t mind watching or participating in. It’s a big brain strat.
I ended up dropping out of Nuclear Engineering due to my mental stability plummeting. Now I'm I'm a Zoology major & it's a world of difference, I didn't know you could have so much free time in college...
@@gabedarrett1301 Make sure you study. One thing that really helped me was learning what all the variables you use are & what units they have. It's also really helpful to get along with your nuclear engineering professors, even if it's just finding one question to ask about the lecture every class, just find a way to introduce yourself & make sure they know you're eager to lean. When it comes to labs make sure to be very detail oriented & write down everything you do. The idea is to be able to show your lab book to anyone & for them to be able to continue exactly where you left off without having to figure out any of the values or possible errors you had. I would also recommend getting an up-to-date Table of the Nuclides as this has great reference material, as well as all the info you will ever need on specific isotopes & elements. Other than that, just make sure you keep on top of things, if you start to fall behind it is very difficult to catch back up, make sure to take notes as well. WRITE DOWN ALL EQUATIONS & MAKE SURE YOU UNDERSTAND HOW & WHEN TO USE THEM. One final helpful tip is to find a friend (or even just an associate you can trust) in your Nuclear Engineering classes. It is so helpful to be able to talk through things with someone else, being able to teach what you've learned is a great way to reinforce what you've learned & to better understand it.
As a female engineering student, It hurts that I just missed my hot girl summer. Every girls in my dorm being pretty with makeup and well managed hair, decorated room, meanwhile I look like homeless man almost dying 😂
Only thing you're missing here is that (at least in the UK) mechanical engineering students are also expected to drink other undergrads under the table at every opportunity. It's good practice for the career.
We don't even have curve fitting and the prof are like fine with it because some smart ass get 90x in the hardest class like QM while us mortals are barely passing.
For me, I have the opposite experience. My IT classes are easier than my Gen Ed classes. Maybe the classes will get tougher but I am looking forward to focusing entirely on my Major and not having to deal with crap that isn’t related and eats so much of my time. Edit: fixed a spelling mistake
IT literally stands for “I tried” it’s what you take if you’re not willing to put in the work required to be an engineer. It’s designed to be easy, don’t think your smart for one second that IT is easy 😂
@@CreatingCreationsLooks much more fun than engineering, while still paying well. I am going for computer engineering technology with a telecom focus. So still easier than engineering.
The next level is fighting between engineering students of different fields. I'm a mechanical engineer going to Mechatronics, my friends are aerospace engineers. They have 5 classes a semester and two semesters a years; my course is structured for 10-11 classes a semester with three semesters a year. Each of my lectures is the same length as theirs, added I also have labs on top of the lectures. Not to mention general elective classes that are mandatory because they want us to do something else as well.
I love the sims part. 😂😂😂 I play the sims too and when I make Asian sims it's just like that. I also spend hours on making celebrities every now and then. Also a business major. 😄
I studied engineering for 2 years before switching to economics and picking up a business minor while I was at it. There's quite a few differences. But only once did I ever hear someone call 14 credit hours an "insane amount of hours" and that was in the business college.
I would like to say, as a CS and Business Economics double major, although CS does take a lot more work my econ and management classes conceptually are just as difficult and rigorous (UCLA)
I've changed majors from Electrical Engineering to Accounting. This video couldn't be more accurate. Except for federal taxes and business law, those were grueling courses to take.
I switched from Finance to Mathematical Econ, I’m taking Real Analysis and Applications of Statics and Probability for Econ PhD’s rn but my hardest class to date will still be Mergers & Acquisitions for my previous finance major. It was literally just a a law school course, absolutely murdered me.
And here I am, an education major. I generally have a reasonable workload at any given time and find plenty of time to relax, but nobody makes fun of me for it. :D
I’m a third year Physics major at Purdue, and my friends are BME - gotta say we have about the same work load. Also why go to Purdue for a non-STEM major???
Bioengineering grad here. Graduated top of my class but I had zero social life for obvious reasons. I'm in med school now, and I feel like it's just only a tiny bit worse than bioengineering in terms of studying and workload
Engineering is highly underpaid in the initial years but the course is heavenly expensive. The only program I could find which was heavenly expensive but highly paid is Medical Sciences.
Welcome to degree inflation baby. Employers know theres too many engies so they can pick out the best one thats also easy to replace as a means to keep wages low.
The biggest difference between them is that I pull up my engineering projects during job interviews or at work often, but I’ve never touched anything from my business classes.
@@adamfattal468 USA. I did most of my general studies in first year. I didn’t take any classes related to my major or minors in the first year because I didn’t have the math requirement. I took summer classes in the summer to catch up. And now I’m caught up, all I do is focus on my physics and minor classes 😁.
As someone who got their first degree in business and now I’m back in school for engineering I can definitely say this video is accurate lol. I never went to class when I was a business major and still made at least Cs and Bs on everything but now if I miss even a few classes I spend so much time playing catch up it’s not worth it at all. As hard as it is though I still enjoy my engineering major way more.
