From the very first minute you enter university, you will early on see the stereotypes surrounding different majors. You will find out what majors are often regarded as "easy" and on many occasions will hear what majors people go into when they aren't interested in having to apply any effort to school.
To the people that create and spread these types of stereotypes: you are not doing yourself any favors.
You may believe you are making yourself sound intelligent or like a hard worker by ragging on all other majors other than yours. However, all I get from it is that you are uneducated and ignorant.
I truly believe that every major has its ups and downs, and to classify any major as "easy" is ridiculous. For one, how do you even know so much about another major that you aren't even in? It goes along with the saying "before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes." Don't act like you know everything about a major when you haven't taken even one class in it.
It is completely ignorant for someone to blatantly look another in the eye and say that that person's major is so much easier than theirs. I remember a tweet shared on Twitter a few months back. The joke was hating on education majors as compared to biology majors, basically saying that education as a major is a joke because the bio student was writing a lab report whereas the education major was cutting out a puppet for their class. I remember how insulted my roommate was by this, as she too is an education major and felt it was unfair, as she has had many late nights writing 15-page papers.
These people easily made a joke out of this without realizing how their words hurt others while also giving quite misleading information.
Being a science major myself, I definitely think the stereotype does arise from the sciences and math majors a lot of times hating on majors such as those in Liberal Arts. I have heard my peers plenty of times talking about the difference in workload. It does irritate me, because it doesn't make the workload any less rigorous just because it is a different type of work (not to mention-you picked this major so stop complaining).
No matter what, I will never consider one major harder than another. College is all around a difficult journey no matter which path you take. So keep your stereotypes to yourself, no one cares to hear them.
