The weakest academic students went into education.

Then journalism.

Then weak arts and science degrees like english.

Then business.

Then within business, those who went into accounting

Then the harder sciences

Then engineering

Jill Biden is an Idiot, very part time Teacher who allowed Dirty Joe to drive her husband’s Corvette, while they were having an Affair, and Joe wrecked it, and the guy he hit told her Husband that Senator Biden was driving, and the beans were spilled.

Two Biden children are multi-decades Drug Addicts and one of their grandkids is a drug addict.

We should tell the Truth about the liars.

You just need to know a little more than the grade you are teaching.
Some of them do.

(I got into astronomy before I even started school, from watching space shots in the mid-60s. In 1st grade they had me give lectures to 5th & 6th grade classes. I used crayon drawings of the planets for props.)

I’ve worked engineers for 40+ years. Some of the dumbest smart guys you’d ever meet.

Some of the smartest went into plumbing, electricity, etc. etc. I saw what happened in the schools when they did away with vocational education. Now with common core . . .even the brainiest have been dummied down. I always ask, “How were the skyscrapers ever built without the Common Core curriculum?” It was and still is the COVID of education in our public schools.

I guess my Ph.D. in history is in one of the weaker areas. But I did have to pass foreign language exams in 4 languages. And my dissertation was a lot longer than 129 pages.

I wonder how many foreign languages are required for an Ed.D. at the University of Delaware?

After Business I would put marketing, human resource management, accounting, finance, mangagement information systems near the top in level of rigor. Also, depending on whether economics is anchored in the business school or in the social science department, economics which include at least one year of calculus can also be fairly rigorous.

there are other fields as well. My son has 4 years if extensive post graduate study for his master of divinity requiring 2 ancient languages as well as theology and biblical studies with a healthy amount of public speaking and administrative skills to function as a pastor. Yet he only has a masters degree. There are others with bachelors or masters degrees that can run circles around some with doctorates. Those who are competent usually quickly earn respect while those who are pretenders out themselves sooner or later.

The people who went into the harder sciences mostly believe in science. At least the English majors believe in English.

Nice list.... I've plagiarized lots off the top of it and expanded the bottom.

Easiest to hardest.....

Education

Arts side of Arts & Science: poly sci, literature, languages, English lit, journalism, fine arts, etc.

Business

Business - Accounting

Biological Sciences, Environmental “Engineering” Archaeology, Architecture

Chemistry, Civil Engineering, Meteorology

Chemical, Mechanical, Electrical, Nuclear and Metallurgical Engineering, Mathematics

Physics (science of everything)

Comment.... The bottom two line items on the list really twist your brain from about the Junior year forward when you're buried under the weight of the math. On the college campus, these are the folks walking in a daze with integrals floating in their mind.

I've left off computer science because I can't quite figger out how are to rank it. Best guess is with the biological sciences level but this is up for discussion. As a point of reference for me, in my two senior process design classes, each class individually was using several times the mainframe CPU time as the entire computer science department. The only thing useful to us was a few lines of code that increased the priority of our personally written programs for CPU time. In of the code lines was a generic allocation for time priority. The second line of code used the pirated ID authorization of one of the engineering profs.

Yup.

Some of us got our doctorates in *law* and then passed the CA bar on the first attempt.

We were *not* the dumb kids.

I had to work full time as well. Good times.

It was actually quite weird. For the first time, I looked around at my fellow students and realized that I wasn’t smart anymore. *Everyone* in the room is super smart. It took awhile to find my sea legs.

Once I heard that DOCTOR Jill Biden’s PhD was in freakin education, it became time to ridicule her mercilessly.

It is not possible to compare what it takes to earn a JD with a fluff degree.

This is reminiscent of DOCTOR Ben Rhodes.

I don’t use the doctor title, it’s pretentious. I may with the next book but, only with my first name, ie, “Dr Jazminerose”.

Even my master’s is better than hers. No doubt hers is an MA. Mine is an MSc (psych).

And yet. I don’t wave these things around like tattered boas.
