re: Which Liberal Arts degree do you feel is the hardest at LSU?

I of course think STEM courses are objective more difficult, but nonetheless, it's a different skillset that engineering students don't always possess.

This.

I could never have done something like engineering simply because I am not that "type" of intelligent. It is undoubtedly more difficult than anything I could have done.

That said, I worked for LSU's Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering for 2 years (as their communications person) and some of the most intelligent people I knew couldn't write a sentence with proper grammar and correctly spelled words to save their lives.

I literally got paid to re-write these people's letters (even more personal letters, like letters of recommendation for students) and articles because they couldn't do it properly. While not as important as engineering in itself, it is important to a certain degree to look professional and intelligent all around. Broken English and misspelled articles in your literature don't help anything, for sure.

It still blows my mind that English (the course, not the language) doesn't come naturally and easily to people. But then again, I bet people feel the same way about math not coming as easily to me.
