Is special education a hard major?

[Jake P]

I'm very interested in the Special Education field because I've always wanted to help make a difference in peoples' lives in one form or another. So out of high school, I chose the Nursing major (Bachelor's) in which I'm still in. I'm a decently smart guy but I got to be honest and say the Nursing major is just a little too hard for me. So now I'm starting to wonder about how Special Education major stacks up to the Nursing and other majors on degree of difficulty. I'm strongly considering changing my major to Special Education because I think I'll love it! Any information on the courses, difficulty, job outlook, or anything will be very helpful. Thanks
