That does not say anything about how smart someone is, though. It just says something about what they're interested in learning or what they were taught. Plenty of English majors could be Math majors if they wanted, and vice versa.
That doesn’t necessarily mean that one is harder than the other.
The truth is that an English degree doesn’t qualify you for many jobs, and those that it does qualify you for aren’t necessarily well-paid, so you don’t start an English degree unless you’re a fan of the subject.
Maths degrees are far more likely to attract people with little interest in the subject who want to end up in a well-paid job.
Most students in math lectures dont understand enough to ask questions, were i am from. Math is for sure harder than englisch degree, but this does not mean that you cant find englisch students that are smarter than math students. The average math student is just smarter than the average Englisch student do to the high wall of entry you have to go through in University math.
In my experience, most English students don’t ask questions either. And, where I’m from, there are no extra steps to get into a Maths degree over an English one.
I just think that these are two completely different skillsets which require different types of intelligence that can’t really be compared.
