I am curious and kind of scared after hearing that Guinness has rated a particular degree as the most difficult. Can anyone tell me about this? Just want to know what I might be getting myself into...
The degree Guinness World Records has deemed the "toughest degree" is the Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) program. This is not universally agreed upon, as the difficulty of a degree can often depend on individual interest, prior knowledge, and work ethic. The MBBS program is applauded for its rigorous curriculum full of complex terminology, large volumes of material to learn, and demanding practical elements, which can include clinical rotations and internships.
It's important to note that just because a degree is considered difficult, it should not discourage you if you have a passion for the field. Degree difficulty often varies significantly from person to person depending on several factors such as individual strengths, learning style, and dedication. Additionally, the provision of robust academic support, peer study groups, and tutorial sessions can greatly assist the learning process.
Your choice of major should be based on your interests and long-term career goals. If you're passionate about a subject, the hours of studying and hard work tend to be much more manageable and rewarding. For example, if you have a deep interest in the medical field, the challenges presented by an MBBS degree may instead present learning opportunities and experiences that you find engaging and rewarding.
