I do agree that DifEQ was the easiest of the 2 year calculus series (Calc 1/2/3 then DifEQ).
Yes you needed calculus first but it was far easier at the time of taking it than the 3 calculus classes.
Partial differential equations, advanced calculus, and real analysis however are a different ballgame.

Obviously it varies by university, but Calc 3 was super easy, too. Took me a while to get abstract algebra, but it ended up being one of my favorite courses.
Real Analysis was a real bitch. My proof for one question - which I frequently received a '0' for a grade (if it wasn't 100% correct, it was 100% wrong) - was often longer than the entire chapter on the topic. The book was absolutely worthless.

Emotional is far different from real stress. And you can suck at your job or mail it in and still get a paycheck. I'd get fired in a heartbeat for that.
Teachers always fucking cry about how hard their job is. No, it really isn't - sorry, you're just a babysitter. You have no idea what it's like to work on a true 24/7 job where every time your phone or email pings your entire weekend could be ruined. Where you can't sleep in because you're afraid you miss a critical email that came at 8am on a Sunday. Where fucking up is basically part of the job but you never know if you're about to be fired or managed out.

Almost 30 years ago. I assume those educ majors in that class had a math specialty or discipline, and that was probably like a capstone course for them. I was a dumbass for not tutoring the hot chicks that were failing.

I said the stress of the kids we are trying to prepare for handling life. No one said teachers job is hard but I did say you don’t want any part of a K-3rd grade classroom position. You calling that babysitting just shows how little you understand. Sounds like you chose a shitty career.
You don’t work a 24/7 job, get off your high horse
