finance is pretty hard, would be super hard if i wasn't good at math. Its definitely not the hardest though. I think Nursing has that category locked up. All of my nursing major friends study constantly, and by the time they are second semester junior I never see them b/c all they do is study

As Dr. Phil would say, "How's that working for you?" Has HMO landed you the job of your dreams, or are you still among the unemployed? :oops:

Dr. Fink says otherwise.
Let's put it this way... You know who the Youth Majors are (RocketFan, case in point: Eugene was a youth major). But I didn't want to single out Youth; someone else mentioned 'praise and worship'...
Would you know I was a student ministries major in seminary? Just asking. (and not saying the degree is extremely difficult either)

Agree, finance is pretty hard. I'm taking a finance class for grad school and it's no surprise how companies keep getting into financial troubles.

Read this today and thought it went well with this discussion, regarding Comms majors:

http://moelane.com/2009/03/05/now-olber ... w-college/
Now, Olbermann, there’s nothing *wrong* with going to a cow college.
Not the Ivy League, but still nothing to be ashamed of. Or try to cover up.

Via Ace of Spades… as Ann Coulter* says, many good and decent people go to agricultural schools. Many of them even major in communications. But… well, we’ll let Ann speak for herself:
…most people who majored in “communications” at an ag school don’t act like Marshall Scholars or go around mocking graduates of Regent University Law School.

The sort of insecurity that would force you to always say “trebled” instead of “tripled” could only come from a communications major with massive status anxiety, like Keith. Without even looking it up, I am confident that Harvard, Yale and Princeton do not offer degrees in “communications.” I know there is no “communications” major at the Ivy League Cornell.

“Communications” is a major, along with “recreation science,” most commonly associated with linemen at USC. But at least the linemen can throw a football, which Keith cannot because his mother decided he was not physically robust enough to play outdoors as a child.

Alas, Ann then goes on to tell a fib - she says that she’s pointing this out in order to “liberate” Olbermann. The reality is, of course, she’s doing it because she’s quite aware that Olbermann’s an insecure little weasel with serious compensation issues, and because she is quite keen to see whether she can get the serial exaggerator to pop a blood vessel in his eye on national television. Which I have to admit would be entertaining.

Then again, so would sending Keith back to school. I mean, really: communications? That’s the major that people who can’t hack the pressure of an English degree end up picking.

I don't know about the Sports Management degree but back in the day the Sport Management department was one of the best undergrad departments in the country. As a previous poster said, some of the work was stupid hard (I hear telll people are still seeking therapy for the Olympic Project) and real world hard (The Sport Finance project was fun) As for this new major I can't speak to it.
I do know that the Nuring Graduates are well respected in the area, so THAT has to be a good major.
I would have to go with Bible. I mean, can you really flunk God?? HA HA

luconn weren't the bobbies all sports management majors.... if that happens to be true (and they all passed quite easily) there is no way it was hard..

Government had it's easy classes and difficult ones. Anything with Kevin Clausson was a joke. Take home mid-term, take home final, not attendance policy (Which is why he got fired.) Upper level courses with Metallo was pretty challenging. Anything with Witham was boring... just tell him you did volunteer hours on a campaign and you'll pass.

Not sure what the hardest it...

FACS for easist. My wife graduated with a degree in FACS because she didn't know what she wanted to major in.

Here's the thing: Olbermann has publicized the fact that he breezed through college, and didn't even finish all his courses. He got to the end of his senior year, and needed some ridiculous amount of credits to graduate. One professor liked Olbermann on the radio and offered to give him a passing grade if he continued to work hard. Olbermann himself has said that he barely got by... and now he's trying to portray himself as this erudite Ivy Leaguer, when in fact, he's a d-----bag.

Olbermenn is a complete toolbag! Funny how he gets this thrill going up his leg everytime the anointed one reads off of his teleprompter...lol Hopefully next time that thrill he feels is a blood clot making its way to his brain.

Surprised no one has mentioned this one yet, but I had a harder time in high school (and I did well in high school) than I did with my Psychology degree....

Uh, what if they want to teach it?
Haven't caught up, so maybe I'm late w/ this distinction, but...

To teach, it would be a music education degree, not performing arts. And w/ a wife who attempted the p.a. route for 2 before realizing her error just in time, I couldn't agree more with rueful.

SMGT was cake when I took it. I even had time for two minors (coaching, psychology). My MBA hasn't been hard yet either; only tricky part is finding time to finish the work. Content itself isn't difficult.
