[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would hire a physics major over an ecom major in a heartbeat. It is the hardest major next to math.[/quote]

…outside of Engineering.[/quote]

Nope.  I was an engineering major.  Kid is studying to be a physicist.  Its not comparable.  The math in physics is harder.  The theory and abstraction is just harder.  Engineering (materials science) was easier in comparison.  Even in weed out courses.  [/quote]

Engineering is more of a grind type of hard. Physics is an extremely high level of abstraction. Can I do it all vs. can I understand even a bit of it.[/quote]
Physics was the grind type of major to me as someone starting in Math. Math cares way too much about all cases possible and full abstraction. Physics cares about single cases most of the time and is a team effort, depending on where you go to school. Math was a sad, solitary activity, while physics was a focused, team-based one for me. Engineering was more direct performance-based learning, which wasn't my cup of tea.[/quote]
