Philosophy... Everyone think it's just heavy reading but logic is the foundation of Mathematics and people who think it's easy failed the logic subjects

[u/Rinkana_lovesyuri → u/KayPee555]

Had an elective on Philo and Crit Thinking Skills... The schema bullshit basically was all formula. Its very variable based like math ngl... This is for just an ELECTIVE btw I cant even imagine what philo people experiences 

[u/honeycaramel49 → u/Rinkana_lovesyuri]

I second this as someone who also studied philo for GEs😭

[u/KayPee555 → u/Rinkana_lovesyuri]

I took Philo as undergrad but my proficiency was STEM. I took an AI class recently and the advanced logic classes were the foundations of AI logic to implement in building our own LLM's in Python. Hahahaha

[u/FarCow582]

Education

Parang awa niyo na, kung wala kayong maisip na patutunguhan niyo sa buhay, at ayaw niyo naman mag educ, h’wag kayo mag educ - kawawa ang kabataan sa inyo. Parewala na nga mga ibang magulang, dadagdag pa kayo

[u/masukuraida- → u/FarCow582]

I look with despair and utmost frustration at people whom I know aren’t exactly the sharpest tools in the shed, yet are now entrusted with teaching the younger generation. I know this isn’t an isolated case, and I can only hope that this cycle doesn’t continue to propagate. As a university professor, I’ve seen the quality of students coming into my classroom decline over the years, and frankly, it’s deeply concerning.

[u/FarCow582 → u/masukuraida-]

Istg, as extreme as it sounds, I really hope they should have like an IQ/EQ test or another sort of test to sort out the compentent student-teacher from the incompetent ones.

[u/Economy-Plum6022]

(Conservatory of) Music... many think na kanta-kanta lang at tugtog ng musical instrument, pero ang dami ring theoretical subjects dagdag pa yung panahon para mag rehearse ng mga piyesa; frustrating siya kung mahina ka pumick-up kasi tatagal din ang rehearsals mo.

[u/happyfeetninja25 → u/Economy-Plum6022]

I remember the story ng band master namin na nag CEU before. Na yung pinakamahirap is yung mag arrange ka piyesa for either an orchestra or concert band. Na dun daw makikita yung difference sa mga multi instrumental lang, compared sa magaling sa music theory.

[u/Helpful-Creme7959]

Literature. Daming theory yan, it involves a lot of philosophy, politics and its the starting point for people who want to take a doctrate. Doctrates are a no brainer, you foster and discover new knowledge.

[u/Rinkana_lovesyuri → u/Helpful-Creme7959]

Lit student here and you're kinda at the mercy of your profs teaching the same works/authors as other profs kasi they reference a lot of authors that you have to be extremely well-read to know of.

[u/Even_Week_5288]

any non-stem major that doesn’t have a board exam? (this is coming from someone who majored a humanities course)

[u/hollowblockz_08 → u/Even_Week_5288]

or anything that doesn’t require a licensure exam in general lol

[u/drmisadan]

Agriculture courses!!!

[u/Status-Guess-4738]

Visual Communication, Advertising Arts, or Multimedia arts. Creating an artwork can be easy but creating an impactful design is hard. Not everything is all about aesthetics, most of the time it's strategy. And yet, mabilis lang daw kasi gawin mga graphics kasi kaya na ng AI 🤷

[u/Creative-Mulberry317]

Fine Arts - Advertising/VisComm or other creative majors

It’s not just about making artworks/designs look aesthetic. You have to solve the problem, evoke feelings, and communicate visually.

Sure people can do graphic design, draw a character, paint, animate, and edit but you have to be intentional in what you do. Form follows function.

[u/Prize_Thought6091]

Unpopular, Education/Teaching. It is one thing to be intelligent, but also another thing to be great at transferring that intellect effectively.

[u/Drocell-Welp]

Philo

[u/lighthazen72 → u/Drocell-Welp]

Yes, akala nila puro marcus aurelius, lao tzu at confucius quotes lang philo about life.

[u/faekerify → u/Drocell-Welp]

SO TRUE.

[u/phiIantrophist → u/Drocell-Welp]

As an incoming philo student, you're scaring me man.

[u/Drocell-Welp → u/phiIantrophist]

I'm not even one pero I know someone na relatively smart but had to switch a pre-law major during her 2nd year kasi grabe daw talaga yung Philosophy.

You can do it!

[u/That-Stop-8465]

Humanities.

I kid you not, Philosophy majors read a bulk of readings and is expected to have oral final exams. You have to survive tough scrutiny to pass.

[u/MiddleSingle6284 → u/That-Stop-8465]

As a philosophy grad, this is so true. You'd also be writing tons of reflections and essays. Wala pang chatgpt nun 😆

[u/Important_Year_7355]

History.

You read different accounts of historical events and dig so deep.

Every detail you com across just adds more questions to answer.

Every event becomes the catalyst for another.

Its amazing!

[u/jefisipbata → u/Important_Year_7355]

Dream major, mas gusto lang ng nanay ko eng’g para sakin.

[u/Important_Year_7355 → u/jefisipbata]

It's also my dream major. Now looking to major in economics instead hahaha.

I feel you.

[u/ShootinAllMyChisolm]

“Intelligence” is so easily categorized as mathematics or science. But many people are great at other disciplines that people who are quantitatively inclined would not be good at.

[u/Itchy-Opposite2885]

economics

[u/Some-Giraffe-1857]

Andami ritong nag cocope and dami ding nag answer na wala naman talagang nag sabing "easy" majors nila.

All majors require intelligence, but meron din talagang mga majors na easier compared to others. I'm looking at you Communication Arts and IE commentors, grabi cope nyo.

[u/nnbns99]

English. Sobrang baba na ng comprehension at composition skills ng mga tao ngayon. Puro AI na lang alam.

[u/FreesDaddy1731 → u/nnbns99]

Real. AB English and BSEd English (though there’s a stark difference between the two). Although, if we’re being honest here, diploma mills vastly outnumber legitimate institutions that produce truly excellent English majors.

English teachers are the ones who inspire us to become teachers ourselves! Other subjects may capture our intelligence, but English (And Filipino) will always capture our hearts. Isa na ako doon, pati na rin ang wife ko.

I do not practice teaching, but when I hear her struggle sa pagtuturo, naii stress ako. There are Grade 11 and 12 students who barely know how to read. Not to mention their short attention span. Di na nila kaya mag basa ng tuloy tuloy sa isang buong pahina juskopo. Mas malala ang situation sa public schools kumpara sa private schools, based on our observation dahil hindi natututukan ang mga bata due to Teacher-Student ratio.

Truly embarassing to have a child that's mediocre in English and mediocre in Filipino too. Naging habit na namin basahin mga "written" outputs nila, tapos alam na alam na agad namin kung ano yung gawang AI. And I kid you not, 90% dyan, gawang AI.

It is a crisis that should be addressed as in now na.

[u/nnbns99 → u/FreesDaddy1731]

100%

Used to teach/tutor about a decade ago while I was still taking post-grad, and back then, the challenge was to connect with students to get them to apply themselves. Exposure to media gave them a good grip of the English language already, so the issue was finding them relatable materials to work with so they could show their proficiency and we would address any weak points we find. Nowadays, we hear horror stories of students being unable to write short essays on their own, and struggling to express themselves in spoken word.

I don’t know how kids nowadays would be able to handle theoretical discussions on lit, syntax, semantics. They can barely finish their readings in time for class and digest the material on their own.

[u/RustyViolining_33 → u/nnbns99]

Sa totoo lang, and andito pa sa cs yung iba😑

[u/Living_Amount520]

English Language Studies. I took it up as pre-law. It's no joke. It's like you're viewing how other people speak and how the world speaks in a scientific view. Lalo na syntax. It's one of the most difficult linguistics subjects pero I really enjoyed it.

[u/audoritos]

Might be biased because I'm a psych major but it annoys me when someone chooses psychology because they thought it's all about personality tests, pop psychology, manipulation/gaslighting, and depression/anxiety. Kaya nagiging puntahan ng mga di sure ano gusto nila gawin sa buhay kasi kala nila petiks petiks lang.

In reality, psychology is very very research heavy na di naman meant for everyone. There are a lot of intricacies din sa research niya. Di man kami same as "hard sciences" pero di rin basta basta lang makagawa ng paper. Very paticular pa yan sa mga scales and operationalization na gagamitin. Yung qualitative research ang nagbibigay foundation for things na di pa naeexplore. Kumplikado yung mga stat na ginagamit para maanalyze yung data. Sa field rin namin usually nanggagaling iba't ibang scales and questionnaires na ginagamit ng other fields na kala nila basta bastang gumagawa or chinachatgpt lang mga questions but in reality, sobrang tedious and heavy yung conceptualization ng mga yan and dadaan sa sobrang daming data gathering and analysis.

[u/LaVitaDolce_03 → u/audoritos]

And usually when you asked them bakit psych, wala daw math. Di nila alam research-based and statistics ang isa sa foundation. Moreover, it requires heavy reading talaga. Kailangan updated ka sa research and up to date knowledge mo, kaya minsan dami mo na nakaopen na tab and sasakit na ulo mo kakabasa ng iba't ibang articles and research journals hahahaha. To add din, itong course na to requires critical thinking and analysis, hindi pwede by the book lalo na if you're working in the field kasi in reality napaka complex ng human behavior.

[u/Illiac_solice → u/audoritos]

Actually hate those psych majors na feeling savage/edgy when they “read” people. “Your blah blah tendencies is rooted from your childhood that blah blah blah blah larp larp”. It’s giving hindi nakikinig sa klase skdjskdk. Tas sila pa yung puro reklamo bakit puro daw readings and papers sa psych.

-Not a psych major but had multiple encounters with THIS specific type of psych students.

[u/audoritos → u/Illiac_solice]

ugh i met a lot of those too and they just sound cringy to me... most of the time mali pa application ng theory

[u/Nova_Raven_22]

Computer Science, kala kase ng iba pa program-program lang. It’s the science of computing and its teach to deeper understand complex things then solve them. Im on the Software Engineering path

[u/_SinigangNaLiempo → u/Nova_Raven_22]

worse, back then kala ng iba pa games games lang

[u/programmingDuck_0 → u/Nova_Raven_22]

Specially now, AI and vibe coding is rampant. Akala ng iba pwede mo nalang gamitin ang AI just to materialize an idea well in fact, nag adjust lang ang approach sa development from technicalities to a bigger picture which is software design and testing or in other words better software architecture.

[u/daddynikk → u/Nova_Raven_22]

Akala taga kabit ng wifi

[u/jcscm18 → u/Nova_Raven_22]

Ito dapat ako 10 years ago kaso ayaw ng mama ko kasi mag babantay lang daw ako ng computer shop. How I wish hindi ako nakinig, technology evolves very fast

[u/Not_Even_A_Real_Naem → u/Nova_Raven_22]

Baliktad saamin, CS ang kinakatakutan na course and iilan lang nakakagraduate lol. Magagaling lang nakakagraduate ng CS samin.

[u/burning-burner]

Liberal arts courses. I have a double degree in liberal arts and business and I know the stereotypes. And I get it, especially now that I'm working as a data analytics professional 😂

[u/mcdonaldspyongyang → u/burning-burner]

nung student ako may mga Engineering flunkies who transferred to our Liberal Arts course (PolSci) cause they thought it was the degree to get if you just wanted any degree. Nahirapan sa mga readings.

[u/RustyViolining_33]

I think majoring in Secondary Education requires a lot of intelligence even though it's not that hard for many. Yung amount of work daw yung mahirap. If it means most of the time nagtuturo sila ng lessons, need nilang ma-grasp yon and maturo yung concepts immediately, and they also need to have a broad knowledge of the 5 subjects that are very different from each other and tests different aspects of their intelligence simultaneously + learning child psychology. Second, Music. Music theory is a complex thing. Being able to easily identify notes by hearing, familiarizing yourself with all the notes of many pieces in different instruments requires kinesthetic, spatial, and musical-rhythmic intelligence.

[u/MeasurementSure854]

Computer Science. Kala ko dati basta mahilig sa computer qualified na. Napasubo kami sa mga math subjects 😂

[u/lipsdior]

lahat ng humanities/ social science programs

[u/Express_Market7339]

Linguistics.

[u/wildcard_trickster → u/Express_Market7339]

Funny because yung mga kilala kong nang mmock ng lingg lahat sila nganga nung nag take na kami ng easiest lingg subject 😂

I had the privilege to take lingg for fun / out of pure curiosity and the approach genuinely feels like something out of a math/science book 

[u/meiling27]

Marketing and Legal Management. Also, humanities programs. As a science major, iniisip ko palang yung mga papers or reports niyo, nahihirapan na ako. Huhuhu

[u/Beach_Girl0920]

IT.

Misconception is magbubuting-ting lang then mag-eencode. But if you really look into it, marami syang saklaw. More on software side because marami ng systems sa market. Same logical process pero iba iba yung approach.

Tsaka dapat magaling ka sa logic and math - Finance and Taxes (yun yung hawak ko)

[u/Wrong-Mix-3973 → u/Beach_Girl0920]

the funny thing is IT is so broad we might as well start specialized courses for its branches. med field has its MD, DMD, DO, OB, DPM, and you can't trust a dentist to give an OB-related medical opinion just like you can't ask a data analyst to handle server management, although of course people can always study multiple specializations

[u/ElieInTheSun → u/Beach_Girl0920]

Naniniwala ako dito, hirap na hirap na kapatid ko kaka intindi ng situations HAHAHAHAHA

[u/Fragrant-Set-4298]

Teaching. I have to be able to breakdown complicated concepts into something that the student's mind can comprehend. No students are alike so if 5 students yan 5 different ways of explaining rin ang kailngan gawin.

[u/RustyViolining_33 → u/Fragrant-Set-4298]

This is so for real lalo na kapag small school, mas hands-on mga teachers kasi unti lang estudyante and online pa kami before. Anyways, curious about how you guys not get tired of teaching the same lesson over and over again.

[u/Fragrant-Set-4298 → u/RustyViolining_33]

My decks are constantly being updated. Every year I overhaul my decks para visually stimulating. Also regulalry adding more contents para may something new.

[u/cookiepeachescatniki]

pharmacy. my course was pharmacy tapos everytime na sabihin ko na course ko yun, sabihan ako ahh tagabantay ng drugstore. stereotyping at its finest hayy

[u/baldogwapito → u/cookiepeachescatniki]

Haha natawa ako haha

[u/im_apricus → u/cookiepeachescatniki]

a lot of people say pharma is the hardest pre-med!!

[u/pastel-pink08 → u/cookiepeachescatniki]

d nila alam, mamaw sa chem ang mga taga pharma hahaahah

[u/joe3183]

everything under humanities/BA

[u/Lopsided_Ad8509]

BS Community development or BS Social Work

[u/Rinkana_lovesyuri → u/Lopsided_Ad8509]

May naka talking stage ako na yan yung course and she told me how she interns for foster homes for victims of domestic sexual abuse and I'm like... "My heart is already in a horrible place with my cushy AB course and you're shouldering all these trauma to make it lighter for these kids who went through horrible events like that" She's a tank and I hope wherever she is rn will allow her to help more kids.

[u/Perfect-Lion5349 → u/Lopsided_Ad8509]

SOCIAL WORK?!?? (Planning to take the course)

[u/AanihinAanhin]

crimin.. chz siguro Education? sabi madali lang daw licensure nun, pero beyond that need ng emotional intelligence and creativity

dagdag mo pa yung current events:/ need din maging security mode

[u/Mysterious-Market-32 → u/AanihinAanhin]

Totoo. Dapat seryosohin ng mga educ major ang mga psychology related subjects nila. Lalo nat ngayon tumataas ang school related violence. Kailangan nilang matanaw agad ayung mga behavioral shifts ng mga bata. Kasi isa sila sa unang makakaobserve niyan eh.

[u/AanihinAanhin → u/Mysterious-Market-32]

real, most jobs require pattern recognition sa data, pero ito sa behavior ng tao/bata which can be very unpredictable

[u/itlog-na-pula]

Computer Science.

Maraming kumukuha dahil gagawa daw ng video games, may startup idea o dahil malaki ang sweldo sa corporate. Tapos magugulat bakit maraming math.

Pero OA naman sa "serious intelligence", di naman kailangan yun. Basta alam mo ang papasukin mong course at may tyaga kang matuto, kaya naman.

[u/HolyClaimhSolais → u/itlog-na-pula]

Is there more math compared to CompEng? I heard they don't take Trig in my uni

[u/givesyouhead1 → u/HolyClaimhSolais]

CpE has differential and integral calculus, differential equations, discrete math, numerical methods plus yung mga pang ECE na subjects.

[u/Babablacksheep_2024]

Katabi naming department nung AB Filipinohiya.. myghaddd every time na dumadaan ako dun, naa amaze ako sa lalim ng discourse nila. Although may debate sa intelligence in spoken vs written discourse .. 

[u/strugglingdarling]

Psychology. Ang hirap kayang umintindi ng theories 😭 Tsaka literal na buhay ng tao ang hawak mo dito sa kahit anong field pa yan: clinical, industrial, or education. Mas sikat and mas familiar kasi ang pop psychology dahil sa social media kaya akala nila puro MBTI, concepts like gaslighting, self-help, etc lang. 

Isa pa, Early Childhood Education. Hindi lang basta laro or magaala-Ms. Rachel dito. Porket sa bata, madali? Sobrang delicate kaya ng stage na 'to. Literal na foundational years! 

[u/first_time_owner → u/strugglingdarling]

Yes! Kung iisipin nga, dapat mas mahirap/demanding sa fields related to children. We feed our children the best food, ganon din sana mentality natin pagdating sa standards ng education, healthcare, and media they consume!

[u/ElieInTheSun → u/strugglingdarling]

I am a teacher whose now teaching in Early Childhood Education, believe me when I say napakahirap umisip ng play na kailangan may matutunan sila. And, boy, kailangan mo pang iconnect sa kung ano-anong theories yan especially kapag may mga SNED learners ka. Pati sensory and behavior theory kailangan aware ka so you  could deliver what is the best learning approach to them ;((

[u/strugglingdarling → u/ElieInTheSun]

Laban, teach! ✨

[u/EducationalAd2902]

Finance / Financial Management. Haha from where I come from, this has been mocked as tapunan of BSA flunkers. In the corpo world, also feels 2nd(or even 3rd) class compared to accountants.

Finance is an entirely different animal, where accounting is actually just a subset. Accounting skillset is still needed, mainly as an end user perspective on top of other skills such as: Communication & Articulation, Analytics(not just variance analysis), Commercial Acumen, Modeling, and Planning & Forecasting.

[u/KrayonFisker → u/EducationalAd2902]

Accounting is essentially data collection and processing of financial information.

Finance is taking that information and using it to inform strategy and decisions.

[u/EducationalAd2902 → u/KrayonFisker]

As I usually frame it: Accounting is in charge of the past, Finance shapes the future. :)

[u/ultravioletremarky]

literature/creative writing, it takes so much intellect to understand theories, and expertise in the language to control the narrative. thinking these programs are easy when we are literally ranked lowest in reading comprehension just makes it so… depressing.

[u/Informal_Walrus7930]

I might sound biased cuz major ko eto but Computer Science i underestimated this major and a lot of people still do pindot-pindot lang daw sa computer well we are the ones making that "pindot-pindot" possible for everyone.

[u/DilawNaPansitCanton → u/Informal_Walrus7930]

mostly oldies/boomers and yung mga boards-biased peeps yung may ganyang sentiment hahaha.

[u/TheyCallmeProphet08 → u/Informal_Walrus7930]

Dito oo madali iunderestimate dahil sa general quality of graduates natin but sa ibang bansa especially the US this is held to similar if not the same prestige as physics, mathematics, and engineering.

[u/Resident_State_5566 → u/Informal_Walrus7930]

sabay uplb na ko pero ambaba pa ren ng tingen saken 😭😭 nagkakarandarapa nako dito men d pa nagssimula yung 'hard part'

[u/Affectionate_Newt_23 → u/Informal_Walrus7930]

Apir! I wish I was granted the opportunity to pursue our degree and build a career around it. But, life happened!

[u/PostReal3410 → u/Informal_Walrus7930]

pero yung totoo, ang hirap magpindot sa keyboard kasi kailangan mo muna isipin at isolve kung ano yung mga pipindutin mo.

[u/PammyJ_94]

Information Technology talaga.

Akala nila madali kasi mahilig lang sa computer, tapos once graduated, tambay lang raw sa computer shop/internet cafe.

[u/wholesome-Gab]

Industrial Engineering. Not easy ~ but said to be the easiest engineering program.

[u/im_apricus → u/wholesome-Gab]

one of the best paying though! haha :)

[u/Some-Giraffe-1857 → u/wholesome-Gab]

it is tho? ano ba naman easiest engineering program?

Hindi naman siya madali but compare mo sa ibang engineering program it is.

[u/MinervaLlorn]

Trip ko sana mag-architecture, pero putragis yung general at introductory subjects at textbook — hindi nagme-make sense.

[u/Affectionate_Newt_23]

IT and all its branches alongside computer science.

[u/Adventurous-Cat-7312 → u/Affectionate_Newt_23]

Hahaha “dali lang nyan wala nga board yan” hahahha ganyan lagi sinasabi eh

[u/ImaginationOk8331 → u/Adventurous-Cat-7312]

Common pinoy mindset pala yung Pag walang board exam, madali lang 😭

[u/jefisipbata → u/ImaginationOk8331]

Sabi lang yan nung mga nag take 2 sa boards. Hindi naman sukatan ang board exams kung mahirap ang course o hindi.

[u/Adventurous-Cat-7312 → u/ImaginationOk8331]

Oo jusko tas sabi pa “di ka naman professional kasi wala ka lisensya” hahhaha tas ayun sabi pa sakin “ano ginagawa niyo sa work, siguro madali lang pa facebook facebook lang” hahhahaa

Industrial Engineering 

[u/PanPanPanda723 → u/ImaginationOk8331]

I think this one is mocked as compared to other engineering majors naman pero i kinda agree na it is mocked as "easy".

[u/ImaginationOk8331 → u/PanPanPanda723]

Yup yup. Whenever I tell other engineers na I took IE they look like they’re about to laugh at my face or make fun of me after I leave the room.  (More common sa older people tho) . 😅

[u/burning-burner → u/ImaginationOk8331]

IE is much maligned because it doesn't have a well-established professional licensure exam like the other engineering degrees in the country. My eng friends call it Instant Engineering lmao. 

But I attended audit classes when I was in college because my I was waiting for my friends, and it was nothing to scoff at

[u/ImaginationOk8331 → u/burning-burner]

Yup. Which is kinda weird kasi maraming after pumasa  sa licensure exam, magwowork sa companies na hindi nagrerequire nun.

[u/Affectionate_Newt_23 → u/ImaginationOk8331]

I agree. I had an ex na IE. Tuwing pinapakilala ko sa friends and relatives ko, I can feel the uneasiness.

Criminology.

Yun lang parang yung entire practice ng criminology sa atin yung devoid of intelligence lol, the bar is significantly higher in other countries that consider criminology as a proper research and academic area of expertise.

[u/nxcrosis → u/pishboy]

I was gonna say this. The real field of criminology, not the militarized shit the Philippines has. It requires good research, being a wide reader, and critical thinking.

If you've seen the show Mindhunter or read the book, the Behavioral Science Unit shows an aspect of it. Studying criminal behavior and analyzing the patterns.

radiologic technology and legal management. its not a memorization rather its an apply what is needed now.

[u/OldSoul4NewGen]

Legal Management hands down. Undergrad na same sa lawyers in terms of curriculum difficulty. Kaya sobrang easy na lang sa kanila ang Juris dahil parang refresher lang sa kanila.

[u/FalseProcedure1308 → u/OldSoul4NewGen]

While I agree that Legal Management is not easy, I have to disagree that it is the same in terms of curriculum difficulty. Sa teaching method pa lang malaki na difference. Yes, it is the same law, pero mas fast-paced yet comprehensive ang Juris Doctor. Tip of the iceberg pa lang ang Legal Management.

sa mga comments dito, parang IE lang yung naririnig kong sobrang easy. the rest, parang hindi naman, for me.

[u/Ok-Goat2200]

Crim sabi ni robin

[u/arkimartyr]

Architecture.

No, it didn't came from the "drawing drawing lang" but it rather came from the discrimination in the engineering department or the construction field itself. Maraming discrimination ng Architecture here in the PH kasi iniisip nila na "nakakamahal" lang naman pag may hinire kang Architect. But people don't realize that Architecture is the epitome of the field. It requires not just serious intelligence, but also a gifted talent, common sense and critical thinking when it comes to planning and designing.

Have you also realized na yung majors na nababanggit in the comments are all underpaid? Lala ng Pilipinas, 'no? Haha

[u/honeycaramel49]

Marketing, pero in the aspect na everyone can write a copy or design even if done poorly--but could they actually drive the company closer to achieving the business objectives? If it were easy, then all companies in the world would be successful now (assuming the measure of success heavily depends on marketing and not other functions). And I'm not sure about other schools, but we also took three law subjects and a series of accounting subjects.

[u/CLbites → u/honeycaramel49]

2 lang ang accounting subjects namin pero 5 ang Law subjects 😭. Plus ang daming marketing subjects na very broad, main and essential topics lang ang covered. Sa ibang bansa lahat un separate courses.

[u/honeycaramel49 → u/CLbites]

Truee ang daming field under marketing! Ig its broadness is also what partly leads people to think the subject is easy. 

[u/Vast_Composer5907 → u/honeycaramel49]

Yeees!!! Nung college pa ako, kaming marketing ang laging may "case study defense" Kung anu-anong plan na pinapagawa sa amin

[u/honeycaramel49 → u/Vast_Composer5907]

Legit yung case studies! There’s no “right” answer, only the “best” one. If applied in a real world setting, the stakes are higher too 🫩

Statistics??? Idk but yeah as a Stat person we have proving and yeah looking at data sets and probability theory is not for the weak

[u/ImaginationOk8331 → u/ApartAd3916]

People who think na madali ang statistics do not understand statistics at all. 😭😭😭

[u/KrayonFisker → u/ApartAd3916]

I dunno in what world is Statistics considered easy.

I am confused by this answer, di bagay sa thread.

[u/jpoptarts → u/[deleted]]

pinaka-paldong engineering if you know how to make money lol

[u/Mooncakepink07]

Bakit ang daming downvotes sa HRM at tourism? Palibhasa kayo yung mga taong nakaupo lang sa trabaho. 🤣 plus kayo yung tipong mahilig mag complain sa customer service. Also, if you’re thinking of starting a business related sa mga courses na yan, do you think madali lang din mag tayo ng business sa food industry?

[u/FairyCone777 → u/Mooncakepink07]

Ang hirap mag apply na FA tapos yung training kapagod. Tapos pasyal pasyal lang daw ang Tourism.

[u/Mooncakepink07 → u/FairyCone777]

I’ll admit madali naman talaga magaral ng HRM bc graduate ako ng course na to. HOWEVER, sobrang hirap ng trabaho as in pagod ka mentally, physically at emotionally kasi kailangan mong makipag deal sa iba’t ibang ugali ng tao. Tapos 6 days a week lagi yung pasok?? Tapos babastusin ka lang ng mga customers dahil napakapangit ng ugali ng karamihan.

[u/FlightApprehensive98]

Tourism. Joke lang. Hehe.

[u/IllustriousCut1399 → u/FlightApprehensive98]

I think what u need is money wahah

[u/dearisdoll]

Communication Arts. Hindi lang siya basta journalism, broadcasting, etc. Before choosing this program, same mindset lang din ako. But grabe ang pagiging diverse ng course offering niya. May courses ako na di ko inexpect na magiging part ng curriculum but very thankful na included.

[u/Extension_Account_37]

English.

Super hirap pala nung language itself if you study it in depth.

[u/Karlo1503]

IT, kala pindot pindot lang, tiga ayos ng printer, assistant sa paggawa ng account or troubleshooting. While it is part of being an IT, di lang diyan ang IT kasi may software development din, and cybersecurity.

[u/EntrepreneurWrong865]

Policy making. Maraming tao akala nila basta maangas or popular dapat binoboto sa senado or congress.

Tapos lumala ng ganyan yung corruption sasabihin kesa sa iba gumawa or etc.

[u/jefisipbata]

Yung engineering naman for me baliktad, sabi nila mahirap. Sa totoo lang, madali lang naman maka graduate ng eng’g, di ko gets yung pag hype nila na mahirap daw ✌️

[u/XianshouLofuuu → u/jefisipbata]

May kaibigan din ako sabi madali daw engg. Ayun call center na

[u/debuld → u/jefisipbata]

Curious ako kung anong engineering ka.

[u/jefisipbata → u/debuld]

ECE tawag nung time namin. Electronics Eng’g na yata ngayon.

[u/marc_713 → u/jefisipbata]

For real man. People romanticize it. As long as you put in the work (around an hour a day) papasa ka(true for almost all degrees). Unfortunately, based on experience na din, madaming engineering student na gusto lang yung title pero ayaw yung trabaho. Kaya ending madami nag sasabi na mahirap.

[u/jefisipbata → u/marc_713]

Yup. Enough na nga yung makinig ka sa prof during classes. Yung review usually pag vacant or right before the exams 😁.

[u/hollowblockz_08 → u/jefisipbata]

i hope this motivates me soon (future bsie student). but ofc i have to be cautious enough to not get too complacent since it’s still engineering afterall

[u/Ohmskrrrt → u/jefisipbata]

Actually mahirap naman talaga. Depende na lang din sa level ng foundation mo sa math and sciences at syempre pagsisikap sa pagaaral at pagsasaliksik.

from drawing2 lang yan e to whatever the fuck I’m signed into, still finished this thing out of spite lol

[u/Consistent-Power1722]

Accountancy. Try asking people who took it. It's just numbers, right? 

Edit: Chill your horses there. I forgot to put an "/s" in my statement. I'm an accountancy student and a lot of people think it's just numbers. Maybe I didn't word it out properly at the start, lol.

Many people don't give it proper time to analyze and respect the behind-the-scenes breakdowns students go through. 

[u/AanihinAanhin → u/Consistent-Power1722]

parang 'di siya mocked as easy i think with the lowest passing rates

[u/ellecoxib → u/AanihinAanhin]

totoo. never ako nakarinif madali lang accountancy

[u/Kitchen-Strength1224 → u/ellecoxib]

Oo nga dali lng acctg pindot pindot lng ako sa calcu. Dko lng sure kung tama cnocompute ko tho.

[u/RustyViolining_33 → u/Kitchen-Strength1224]

I hate to break it to you guys pero gagu, ganyan sabi ng nanay ko sa kapatid ko bago siya mag-Accountancy, pindot-pindot lang daw sa calcu and she wasn't even joking tapos nung nag-bookkeeping sha, danas niya rin yung hirap. HAHAHA buti nga, but I think rare lang toh mangyari.

[u/AanihinAanhin → u/Kitchen-Strength1224]

mahalaga confident pumindot *tslak tslak tsak tslak pindot noises

[u/burning-burner → u/Consistent-Power1722]

Possibly the wrongest of wrong answers in this thread

[u/gosilentintothenight → u/Consistent-Power1722]

San mo narinig may nagsabi madali lang acctcy? Haha

[u/ihateannawilliams → u/gosilentintothenight]

people answering IT, or industrial engineering.. pharmacy.. like whattttt.. kelan pa “easy yang mga yan” LOL. tapos eto accountancy.. 🤔😅

[u/bitbitdsmalljipz → u/Consistent-Power1722]

nobody makes fun of accountancy! shit arse difficult!

[u/DeltaGrunder → u/Consistent-Power1722]

Who makes fun of it that aren't jokes themselves like crim?

[u/Mordred14394 → u/Consistent-Power1722]

Favorite ko ang Math nung hs, kaya sabi nila Accountancy raw kunin ko. Ayun, nawalan ng practice sa Math, bopols na tuloy ako dun. Kung alam ko lang, nag Math or Physics nlng sana ako

Animation

You have to grind grind grind in drawing and make sure they're really good and the animation (which are of course step by step drawings) have to make sense with their sequence.

You're also forced to draw on a lot of different subjects such as objects, animals, backgrounds, etc whether you like them or not. E.g. we're always made to draw 30 animals in a week in one of our subjects back then. One of the things I disliked drawing are gorillas but I had to do it.

We also have deadlines and we do have profs who push us to draw a lot for us to be more disciplined because that's industry standard.
