I'm sure that any degree has its' challenges, but there isn't much discourse in saying that usually the *technical* degrees are considered 'harder' than the rest. It can even go back to the left brain / right brain concepts, the black and white or the grey, the people good with numbers and others good with ideas. It takes all sorts, but we are talking in general terms here though some will always post with the exceptions that they have heard or experienced. I still say that you are safer playing the percentages if this is the game you are interested in. Some can, some can't. I could never had gotten an engineering degree I'm quite sure.
