I find physics extremely interesting, and I could do it better
than most of
my classmates in school, but I don't find it easy. Do most of you
PHYS-L'ers find physics easy? Wow.

Please, I did not say it was easy, but only in some sense easy. Every field
has difficulties, but people who enter the field find it much more
manageable than the majority who did not enter it. The field had to have
some comfort level or you would not enter it. I think that we all find some
aspects easy, and we all find some aspects difficult. Personally I find
biology much harder.
