Having done both, I’d say that the primary difference is motivation. Humans learn things to do things. People who learn on their own often have some ultimate goal they are trying to achieve- even if it is I’ll defined.
Learning higher maths and physics is not intrinsically more difficult, but it is hard for most to maintain focus on a topic with only vague applications to anything and leads for most to financial ruin.
Software skills are more common merely by virtue of how applicable they are.
- wittycardio 5y agoI have also done both and I'm pretty certain higher maths is harder. Its not just motivation. Most people are frightened of leetcode style interviews, which require just an undergraduate level understanding of algorithms. There's plenty of motivation to learn it but most people can't. Higher maths or physics requires way more intellectual horsepower than that.
