Ok guys please shine some advice on this one.
I've been in college at the University of Arkansas for 2 years now (this is my beginning 3rd year there) and I really don't know what to do anymore regarding my career and life. Ever since my car broke down and I swapped in the silvertop I felt some type of passion for cars that I can't really seem to explain. School just doesn't seem to be intresting anymore and none of the majors offered here don't intrest me at all. I just don't have the dedication towards college anymore!  Therefore I was thinking that I might drop out of college and go to a tech. school in automotive and search for that passion that longs the heart of mine. What do you guys think? Should I presume my schooling even tho I am suffering deep inside, or should I get out and go towards automotive, a hidden passion that I have? I have one dream and that is that someday I would build robots for a living and thats why I went towards Electrical Engineering, but this is only a dream. If it came real it wouldn't be a dream at all! Please post any solutions that you have or any comments! Thanks 6G guys!

agreed with above. ya, thats what always sucks about technician schools is they think everyone wants to be a grease monkey mechanic... the only reason i suggested maybe taking something like that is it makes you more well rounded, and if you are perceptive enough you can link all the little connections between engineering and the actual technician work and that will be what helps you in the real world. alot of engineers have a hard time right out of college with the regular work force because they dont have real world experience... something like the technician and an intern/co-op job for a little while goes a long way for doing that type of thing.
