ok, so this is gonna be another "piss and moan" thread...sorta.

So as some of you know, I am a college student, studyign to become an Engineer. My current place of employment has me working hand in hand with engineers, so it gives me real-time job experience in the field that I want to go into.

Well...so I thought that is what I wanted to go into. The last year of college (my first year as an Engineering student) has kicked my ass. [Prior I attend college for CAD. (computer aided drafting)] I failed Calc I, two times, and it has really messed up my scheduleing. (as if that was the worst of it.) After about the first 3 weeks, I honestly, legitimatly, hated getting up to go to class. Not because its early, or because its class, because i knew everyday was going to make me mad, or make me feel dumb.

I am begining to think I can't do the work that is associated to become an engineer. My calculus teacher says that I am not trying hard enough. Which could very well be true, but at the same time, i value friends, and other relationships to be as important, or more important then 35 calculus problems. So comes the notion of, "just try harder."

Maybe I just don't want to try harder, and becoming an engineer to me isnt worth the time, or dare I say sacrafice. I like the work I do now, even tho somedays I really hate, most days are decent.

When it comes to what else id be interested in doing, i cant think of anything that really intriques me enough to major in it.


I know some of you guys on here actually know me in person, and have talked to me. I also understand all dont know me very well, but I am just looking for any insite or personal experiences that may help me make some sort of a decison.

Thanks.
