What do you guys think is the hardest part about Electrical and Computer Engineering? Would love to hear your thoughts!

Like the question says, what do you think?

Personally, I'm a high school senior so all I can say so far is E&M. I'm taking AP Physics 2 and self-studying both the Physics C courses.

This basically gives me awareness because I like to take on challenges.

Feel free to say your thoughts!
