@@cheezit4080 it's probably more on the effect of dopamine, somewhere along the road they start to look forward to rhe reward of doing the job instead of the actual job, such that when they starr doing it without getting paid for it (or rewarded) they will not feel the excitement as much as they do when they get paid for it,
@@notevencalm Enough of the teacher slander ffs - there's nothing inherently wrong with teaching as a profession just because you might've had a bad experience. I've had some brilliant teachers myself, and some terrible.
@@vinashak2048 same omfg I have my weekly 720 mark test today and it's literally 2:10 am rn and I'm studying and crying and studying and crying to the point my migraine is triggered, fuckkk
In my un informed ignorant engineering head, fine arts students homeworks are drawing a stick figure, making up a meaning and submitting it to your lecturer
"fine arts students don't have to worry about homework" Me: *looks at all my friends doing fine arts, with tons upon tons of projects and homework and portfolios to do* Are you sure about that?
@@sret5354 no it isn't, most of them dont even like fine arts that much, they only do it because it's a requirement for art stuff at uni and then they move on to some other type of art like game design. honestly it seems like the most stressful subject at my school.
I want to say that we have time to think about life but we are spending way too much time reading and studying theory (of whatever subject we learn) to actually think about ourselves.
Also I think that since they know how to analize human speech, writings and behaviors, they learn to comunicate what they want better than the average person.
When I was in the university, the fine art major had to draw 500 pages of sketches, and that's a homework just from a single subject not to forget they also had to paint big ass paintings, sculpt, and spend the most of the times in studios after classes. My major, visual & communication design, had many many homeworks. They are not just paper works and essays, but also drawings, paintings, projects, and exhibitions. We often skip night sleeps just to do many projects.
I think it's like in comparison to a lot of majors. Though yeah, this kind of thing is highly dependent on the school you are on and the country. Any of these majors mentioned could easily be a hell if you went to a strict school, which prob what happend to you. Oof.
@@PratyakshTyagiBEE What you on about, especially in top institutes they make these classes hard for no reason, community college engineering classes were a breeze
Yeah that's why I think humanities are on the first spot. It doesn't pay off at all in terms of salary, but the people doing it (myself included) enjoy it deeply. But alas, I think the study is very limited, since the data only includes a very limited amount of students from the UK. Also I don't think I'd call the source reliable.
That's a nothing burger statement tho, it's like saying "Good houses are the ones that are built well", like bro of course Happy Students enjoy their courses, to be someone who's happy with being a student you have to, by definition, be enjoy what you study, because if you aren't then you can't be classed as happy. The question is what kind of subject is most likely to be enjoyed and why. A lot of majors for fields in the arts and entertainment are taken by students with great amounts of passion those fields, and yet most of those majors aren't here because, despite having passionate students who are taking the subject they are passionate in, that passion alone isn't actually doing anything to change the fact that major itself isn't actually enjoyable. We need to look at _why_ some subjects are more enjoyed than others, not just say nothing burger sentences like "Do what you enjoy" whilst completely ignoring the proof that that isn't enough.
The thing with Psychology is that it's actually a pretty chill major, but most people go into the degree thinking "I'll just become my own therapist!" Then it becomes increasingly clear through their courses how broken they are and they really need someone to talk to to make the pain go away. And then we either get help or ignore the pain until we're having a mental breakdown over an extracurricular art course that doesn't even count towards our major. But yeah Psychology is super easy if you're into that stuff!
@@hehehheyy There are plenty of jobs where you can just have a Bachelor's for it. Being a therapist is not the only thing you can do with a psychology degree.
@@jinfin221 wdym it is it's beautiful how maths is intertwined and can explain the ways of the world 😍 the logic is pretty cool then again I'm not old enough to major in anything rn so I dunno how the schools teach you when you do major in it
guys there is no happiness here in university, its like hell untill you graduate 🎓 😂so go and choose the thing that you would really love to study in your free time and feel passionate about 😊
I had friends in both fine arts and engineering and they appeared to have similar workloads, honestly. The fine arts students had an insane amount of projects and the professor’s expectations were often unclear, with very subjective grading and a lot of uncertainty.
I’m a history & politics student and I wanna kms 😃 did it bc I was interested in it but after all the reading I do on a daily basis I’m beginning to realise I hate this crap. Truly can’t wait until robots take over and I don’t have to do this sh anymore
@@ArtAlpha108 that really depends on you, but whatever you choose i recommend winning a lot of championships in that particular sport. Make it look like you're really passionate about it in your application and your essays. If you can try doing both, i recommend doing both aswell. but I'm not sure as I'm still in highschool, and that's the information i got from other articles and youtube videos. Hope you get in btw, whenever you do apply.
Engineering students are one of the happiest probably because when you took engineering, you'll have a whole mindset shift. You'll learn to appreciate little things such as scoring 5/100. Things you took as tragedy in highschool will turn into comedy at college. Hitting 50% of the exam score will already make you feels like you hit a lottery jackpot and remembering your younger self whining over an 98/100 will just make you laugh. LMAO.
As an Engineering Major the first 3 years do be hard tho most of the time I have a okay sleeping schedule 6-7 hours. 4th year is fun tho cause I get to make robots, devices that use ML, electronics and more. Basically when you get to take practical classes it’s usually easier overall since they don’t force extra theoretical grindy work on you. The first three year classes do because they wanna get the fundamentals stuck in your head the best to their ability
How are engineers so happy b4 graduation? Every engineering students at least cried once 4 inability to solve questions. Ig after you get a job you get a lot of money but that depends in which country you are working tbh.
I like how mathmatics was number five even though it has a low pay and lots of math. Just go to show those people take happiness from their own suffering
I think it really depends on what you like doing. If you like what your doing, it still feels like work but it’s more enjoyable and your not going to hate it as much
I’m so glad I’m up there BUT I will say if you’re not on this list or even if you are always make sure you truly are happy in what you’re studying, always volunteer in that field too so when you graduate you have experience.
*"Everything in life is easier when you don't concern yourself with what other people are doing."* The chances of you seeing this comment is pretty low, but if you did, *I hope you have an amazing day.* 🖤
@@HS-qn4hq Aerospace engineering but if I take 2 more classes, I can double major in mechanical engineering (there's so much overlap between the two). I'm also pursuing a math minor bc it makes you competitive when finding a job
You could’ve just asked me. BioChem to be paid poorly as a veterinarian isn’t up there. The job itself, however, is worth the 8 years of schooling. Edit: I hope
I'm a nursing student and I'm still in first year, it's tough and depressing. Seeing your friends hanging out and kinda jealous because you have to study because they took another course
I can confirm this. I am nursing major and let me tell you, working shift feels like hell when the wards full and visitors are just annoying and try to be like they know all. Night shifts makes me sad and tired as hell. Since I'm still a student, I gotta work 6 nights and I haven't got sleep those 6 nights. Man its hard
I feel like the lower paying majors would be happier during college while they’re learning about their major and creating work, and the higher paying majors would be happier after college when they have less homework and higher paying, most stable jobs. This obviously varies, but it seems like it would be accurate in general 🤔
Fine art majors have homework pretty consistently. I spent most of my weekends in the studios drawing a section of still life or doing observational sketches in public or mixing paints or wetting and working clay so it doesn't get too stiff to work. It's not homework that you have set numbers of problems to solve, the whole artwork is a problem and you have to plan how you're going to solve it. Also color theory and art history provide a pretty decent workload, especially for someone who's not fond of painting.
Btw, this isn't a slam on STEM. Yall are Rockstars but fine arts and even music do a lot of school work out of class. It's just not on paper. A lot of it is just having the discipline to succeed.
Def not me, where I decided I don’t want to do what my major prepares me for (which it’s shit at doing anyways) and I’m just finishing my degree so I have one
Fine arts students (and arts in general) may be happier than others because they are studying something really vocational and fulfilling. Not because they have little homework. A friend of mine is studying a Fine Arts High School (in Spain things work this way) and he already has to stay in school some afternoons to work on projects he has to do (after 6h of mandatory class+breaks).
I'm in Humanities and I attest that we students enjoy a lot our classes. We giggle at things we learn, debate, investigate all the time, try to help people and add stuff we like to the topic we are learning. I don't doubt it has the happiest students, even if I'm from another country, but we also are aware that we won't eat from this and have another plan to survive.
@Mialikesthings I’m a professional structural engineer with an American ABET accredited MIT degree. The amount of times I’ve met Indians who claim to be engineers is astronomical. I’ve done work in Dubai where most of the self proclaimed Indian engineers are. They couldn’t tell you the difference between left and right. Also, none of them had professional engineering licensure. Another thing, in American engineering schools, Indians are notorious for being serial cheaters
I LOVED getting my math degree! I think it’s on the list, because it is difficult enough that if you aren’t truly passionate about it and find joy in it it is unlikely you will go down that path.
Fine arts students also get lots of homework and stressful assignments. I am a film major and I guarantee I work just as hard if not more than the students in fields like engineering and computer science. All students work hard, the work might just be different
I wonder whether it’s less about the amount of homework or the pay and more about how passionate people are about the subject that defines their happiness. This would explain why engineering and natural sciences are on the list, as, although they are renowned for being tiring and difficult, they are very competitive courses so most people studying them would be happy to work very hard as they see this as their vocation.
@@tanoshiihito1279 Depends, if you're a fine arts major your job will be selling art to Facebook mom's, if you're gender studies it's McDonald's. If you're an engineer, doctor, or any high demand job, you should be alright, if you're an engineer from India however you gotta work in a different country.
As a art student, I can tell you I had WAY more homework than all my engineers and CS friends. Had multiple breakdowns and was so close to dropping out of school cause of how stressful college was.
@@samdobie6748 I agree with you as a language learner. But, if you wanna do something specific that you NEED the degree for, it's necessary. For example, if I want to be a French teacher or professor, I HAVE to get a professional degree for it! I can't just show up for a job interview and say, "I self taught myself French using the internet" They need a professional degree or certificate to prove my specialized skill.
@NameName-qn7jc it's the flashy technologies, not only that, I actually like and do sometimes try to invent something useful but don't have any of the right tools or right materials, so yeah...
I feel like the happiest students are the one studying what they really like or what they are talented in, for example arts and sport students are talented physically or creatively so they know that they're loving what they're doing cause they're good at it so that makes them happy
In the other hand students who chose majors because they were confused and not sure until they studied it and probably didn't like it because they didn't understand it or it simply wasn't their thing are not happy with it
I was an arts student for many years all the way up to art college where I did a foundation degree. I’m now in the middle of my BA in a sociology based degree (humanities) and I can honestly say I am happier now than when I was an arts student, and I was very good at arts generally and enjoyed each content within my sessions. But overall I’m more happier now
Pre dental students be crying and will know what happiness is like after graduation. As a C student for pre med major but a pre dental focus it was so stressful and full of tears and sweat.
I majored in physics and math. Although we had to pull all-nighters and it sometimes took hours just to solve a single hw problem, I agree that many of us were enjoying the process
As a (wannabe) engineer I’m happy (even though I’m only in High School) to have engineering classes because it’s fun and it’s almost like being able to play with LEGOs all day. Although it can get boring with the math and long coding and if you’re a Civil Engineer you might as well quit. Also yes I’m retarded for saying this stuff so you can laugh at me for that.
I almost got into fine arts major in animation and I Quited half way from the skill test (due to my schedule complicated the skill test so it kinda stacked due to a ceremony)of a university which kinda has one of the first animators in my country teaches.. but I just said if imma suffer then I might aswell become a doctor... Yeah I like suffering...
I’m thinking about doing computer science but funny thing is, I’m not even in high school yet- I’ve been thinking about my whole future since I was a child, it’s a habit and a problem :/
My goals: So actually i have adhd and finally got out of depression recently and that influenced my academic career. I'm starting to college this year and I want a fresh start that where i can be consistent about my studies and be top student in my area. I want to figure out how studying style fits me personally to achieve high grades. I want to start my hobbies that i like and pretty consistent about it. Knowing decent amount of japanese and be good at it. Read more books about this topics: mtyhology, psychology, philosophy in general.
I do think that the depth and extent of your relationships decides whether or not you'll have a happy college experience. You can be a pre-med or engineering major, or a law student, and still be happy when you're not couped up in your dorm room studying for several hours a day and having ramen for dinner every night. I've met busy pre-med biochemistry majors who do both sports and ROTC, and they're pretty happy. Stressed more often than a typical philosophy major, but you'd still find them drinking on a Saturday with their rotc buddies and going on a study dinner out with chemistry lab partners.
Engineering is not at all happy, My sister called me crying today from college and telling me how hard it really is 😢I was crying soo much because she was the best ever sister, and I would say the easier the better
I feel like art majors are the most happy but are the most sad like a lot of artists go through terrible stuff and can’t express there feeling with words
