Best thing I heard all day.
A student of mine was asking what my major in the university was. I told him it was Human Resource(s) Management and he said that it's very hard compared to engineering.
Now, having failed my higher Calculus and higher Stat, and having engineers as parents, I always thought Engineering was a tough cookie.
But, my student pointed out that HR was more challenging. He said,
"In Engineering, we always have the answers. In HR, you don't."
I realized he was right. In Engineering, they have formulas, equations, then solutions. In HR, on the other hand, you deal with people. And it is always a case-to-case basis with people.
Personally, I'm not saying that one is better than the other since I, myself, think I will not excel in Engineering because of its Maths. That is why I look up to Engineering graduates, just thinking that they are able to survive five years basically eating Math.
Still, I guess I will have to say that it depends on your field of interest, and/or what you do best. C:
