Define "hardest field of science to be successful in".

If a field is completely boring AND exhausted, then it will be extremely hard to become successful doing it.
E.g. it will be hard to become successful in the field of

Or if you chose some of the more unpromising candidates of pic related

>>7696381
The most abstract branches of mathematics and theoretical physics, probably. So I would guess string theory, algebraic geometry, algebraic topology, "higher dimensional" algebra, etc.
>>
>>7696381
highest fields of rigor and difficulty would be top tier mathematics

the hardest fields to be successful in are social sciences because their applications are shit, hardly reproducible, and hardly anyone gives a fuck about it.

Whichever field you are worse at

Why are STEMtards so obsessed with which field is "hardest"? If a field is hard then that is likely because the theory is incomplete or badly put together.

They are undergrads who have never seen anything hard. Otherwise they would know that, at some point, every field becomes challenging and you just have to choose the one that you like best instead of the one that you think would sound best.

Doing well in school is the only way they can feel like they're not worthless garbage, and thats strengthened when the material they're doing well at is difficult.
Thats my hypothesis.

>the theory is incomplete or badly put together
That would make it harder to learn, but ripe for the picking and easier to reach success in (think the dawn of the quantum theory)

This. I might suggest phrenology or lysenkoist biology

Female logic

Discrete maths i think

As a male I bet it would be harder to obtain a 4.0 in upper division women's studies classes than for physics. But only for the wrong, culturally induced reasons perpetrated by the professors.
>>
>>7696381
engineering physics, mathematical physics, or computational physics.

Psychology and Psychiatry

Computer science

Making progress: The reason psychology seems so fuzzy as a science is because it's so damn near impossible to measure the processes of the human mind.

Just learning: Physics.
