While there is overwhelming proof that college graduates have better job prospects, not all majors are created equal when it comes to securing a degree after graduation.

You might be shocked to find out that one study showed some of the highest-paying post grad majors reported some of the highest amounts of relaxation time in college. In the survey the researchers measured computer time as down time which might explain why software engineering and computer science held the top two spots.

Physics and astronomy may be the majors with the most downtime but they still made the list of the most difficult majors you could choose for your college career. The hardest majors in order are architecture, chemical engineering, aeronautical and astronautical engineering, biomedical engineering, cell and molecular biology, physics, astronomy, biochemistry, bio-engineering and petroleum engineering.
