I would suggest doing what you like first, and not caring how other people feel.

We probably
wouldn't feel that way if our admissions credentials in math and science weren't higher than most other degrees (business and accounting included) at the end of their 4 years!
Oh yea, 4 years too, no chance in hell here at OSU any more for an engineering major. Looking at a minimum 5 without failing any classes and taking some heavy credit hours each quarter, which are grossly underrated. For example, our engineering class is only 4 credit hours, yet its a robotics project which consumes approx 50 hours a week or better at a minimum, much of which is on our own time. The engineering requirements are currently under review here, particularly due to the number of failures and believe it or not, number of deaths associated with people in the engineering program.
Definitely not putting any other majors down though, I for one wish I hadn't started engineering, but I'm not really good at anything else. I don't think there are any slacker majors necessarily, just some that are uneccessarily difficult.
