Computer science is on the opposite end of easy. I'm sure by easy he means something that takes the least amount of commitment and the least amount of work with the least amount of difficulty.
ding ding ding! i went to ut - majored in history and geography and minored in education - also did the teacher education program after graduating - there are hard classes/teachers in any major, but i always heard education was one of the easiest to major in. and i had more than one professor say that if you want an 'easy' masters/doctorate program that education is the way to go. honestly though, if you have this attitude towards college you have no business being there - you are wasting time and money.
i majored in history and im doing alright. im in market research now, but history and a liberal arts degree in general definitely helped hone my writing, critical thinking, analysis and research skills - all useful in my current position. and i actually had some really tough history classes at ut.
Based on the writing and logic skills I've seen on this board, Political Science would be harder than MEDICINE for most of these cats.
Little off topic but I'm in stat260 right now and on the first day he gave us that same mark twain quote in your sig. I thought that was kind of funny haha
It all depends on what you're good at. My sister got degrees in History and English and thought they were easy, although required a lot of work. I got degrees in Math and Computer Science, and likewise thought they were easy even though I put in a lot of work. I hated classes that required papers in college. I've written a novel, but I hated college papers and was quite glad to avoid them almost entirely with a focus on science classes. My sister didn't care much for science classes. It's all about what you have a natural inclination for and what you enjoy the most. We both went to Trinity University, which (at least in the early 90's) dished out a ton of homework and papers.
A business degree with a management or marketing emphasis is always the easiest and will probably require you to do the least amount of studying for (from experience). It is also a general enough degree that you can pretty much be hired for ANY entry-level job with a crappy salary wherever you are. If you do not want to do a lot of studying or reading and writing, then avoid liberal arts/social sciences. They may not be hard but most require a significant amount of hitting the books and you will probably be doing a LOT of writing which might crap your style. Now if you want something a bit more challenging then you can still go for a BBA by focus on finance or accounting or information systems. But a management or marketing major is the easiest degree you can get. Heck, my roommate got an MBA degree in management and I swear he never cracked open a book except to do his homework a few hours before class. He graduated with a 3.8 GPA
Are you staying at the same school? Because there's no chance in hell that all 100 credits will transfer to a different institution.
Like everyone else said, it depends on what you are good at. I know engineers who are brilliant when it comes to math, but are completely lost when they have to write a paper. I am a polysci and international affairs major double major. I am interested in the subject and can write papers well. However there is a **** ton of reading and writing which is time consuming. Whatever you hate is gonna be the most difficult, whatever you love will prolly be the easiest.
When I went to UT, Government (UT's Poli Sci) was one of the largest majors simply because it was the easiest major to complete after a failed major. Myself, I graduated with Government after trying both Computer Science and Economics. The reason it's easy to complete is that you were required to take 6 hours of government for any degree at UT, government only required 24 hours of major credit, and those 6 required hours counted towards your 24 hours. Look at your school's degree plan to see what options you have. At UT, the person who helped me figure out how to graduate when I was in a bind were the counselors at the Liberal Arts college (not counselors in your major, mine were worthless). They knew all the tricks and loopholes I needed to finish my degree after I screwed myself by changing my major twice.
Economics, easy and should be able to get a decent job. Just make sure you do an internship or two before you start looking for a real job.
as has been pointed out, you missed out. hell, even grad school was all about chicks and booze (and other FUN stuff). you should get out more.
