College Degrees: Seeking the Easiest Path

Yo, peeps! I'm going to cut to the chase: what's considered the 'easiest' degree to get in college? I understand that 'easy' is very subjective, but I just want a sense of what paths might be less intense on a general level.

Hello! It's important to remember that 'easy' is indeed subjective when it comes to college degrees, as it heavily depends on your personal interests and strengths. That being said, some students find degrees in areas such as Communications, Liberal Studies, or English to be less intense. These degrees often consist of coursework that can be more discussion-based and interpretative, as opposed to mathematical or science-based degrees which require more technical understanding and memorization.

However, don't fret about finding the 'easiest' degree. It's beneficial to choose a field that aligns with your interests and career goals, even if it's challenging. Many people find that they excel more in areas they are passionate about rather than in areas they deemed 'easy'. So, ask yourself what you love to do, or what subjects you tend to do well in, instead of trying to take what might seem like the easy route. Happy college hunting!
