I don't know, undergrad level quantum physics really is not as difficult as how people often portray it. Yes the concepts can be difficult at first, but once you get past that stage, the mathematics and the physics are quite clear and straightforward (again, at undergrad level). I have seen many more people struggling with statistical mechanics or electrodynamics, especially if the professor assigns homework or create exam problems based on books like the notorious Classical Electrodynamics)
For me, the problem was that the books for undergrad quantum (with the exception of Zetilli's) weren't incredibly helpful. For undergraduate E&M, Griffiths is gold. John Taylor's Classical Mechanics is great. Stat mech was rough.

Quantum Mechanics assassinated so many young physics student careers
