Which is harder Medicine or Engineering

[GrindtooFilthy]

my mom tried to argue with me that medicine is harder than engineering

i told her to walk into my university and say that watch all the profs eat her alive

You ask that as if anyone here went to medical school

You dont think nursing counts? Im sure there's plenty of them around

Engineering imo >>>>

nursing?
pharmacy?

pretty sure we got a few of those around here

 

[Meksico]

As a mathematics graduate I'm with engineering

 

[Gwoppo]

I would think it's medical but I could be wrong

 

[Bubba T]

Harder in what aspect? Because this topic is vague as hell.

overall difficulty

 

[Bubba T]

overall difficulty

That's still vague because the concept of difficulty is relative.

Are you asking about difficulty in length? Difficulty in content? What disciplines? There are a lot of questions to answer here.

My father would argue engineering.

I dont know about learning it.

Which is harder? Maybe medicine since you gotta go extra years to learn the shyt.

I'd rather be an engineer though. Way less of a headache. I mean even if you get the damn job after medical school you still gonna be on the clock and tired stressed/depressed constantly. Fuuuuuuck thaat.

Engineering >>>

Most pre-med students would flunk out of an engineering major.

The flashcard-driven, memorization approach to succeeding as a pre-med major doesn't work in engineering.

If you have a solid system to commit shyt to memory, you can get through pre-med and med school.

Engineering requires more fundamental understanding of concepts and then the ability to apply those concepts. It's not about how hard you work or how much you commit to memory. You can know every equation in the book. But, if you lack fundamental understanding, you will still fail!

I'm pretty sure many engineering brehs on the board can tell stories of instances where they studied for weeks for a test, only for the professor to hit them with some shyt on the exam to test for understanding! All after the professor assured you that, if you study the notes and homework problems, it should be a piece of cake.

Study for two weeks to only get that 45/100 on an exam with the 45 being the high score in the class!

Professor handing back the graded exams like

Imagine going through that shyt for multiple courses per semester over the course of 4-5 years!

And that's just undergraduate engineering. Go for graduate engineering and the textbooks become even less helpful and the professors even less concerned about teaching and with thicker accents!

What makes you so confident there aren't any doctors or med students here?



Anyway, I think it's hard to say because they both require such a level of dedication and educational rigor. I do think it's one of those things where if you like it you'll make it through but if you hate it then it's going to be very tough.

I aint think about it like that really.

I'm taking computer science 1 and starting out with alot of engineering students. They seem to feel like comp sci and engineering are pretty equal.

Tbh if Im making that much money or a med student, I dont think Id be on a forum.

Med student Id be studying all goddamn day. Doctor Id be saving lives or trying to not kill myself. I just think all doctors are stressed as fukk always if they work in a hospital.
