I can do it.

I have shown that I can do it.

But whether or not I really want to do it is in the air.

I was speaking with someone and they advised me to look into other fields of study and perhaps keep my wavering in engineering as a hobby or side-item.

From what I write I doubt anyone doesn't know that I have a very entrenched respect for the field, but the more I have failed at it, and the more I have paid attention to why I have failed, the more I realize that it might not be for me.

right now, as I sit here writing this getting ready to go walk my dog, all I can tell myself and the world that I am sure about is that I like to write.

:eek:

It's the typing....I am absolutely ATROCIOUS when it comes to typing and my mental cohesion goes to sh!t...

Needless to say, I write all my papers and such on paper first:eek:

Therefore, you should become a liberal arts major.

Seriously though <wipes away tear>

Physics, perhaps?

I'm getting out of the corporate engineering world. EE = hobby, or my own business only. Time to go into web development and programming.

It's jsut that I seem to be subconciously blocking any success in that field. I am irressponsible, late, sparadic...my heart isn't into it at all like I once tricked myself into believing. I could trick myself into believing that I loved it and study for 20 hours straight ( that wasn't really a big thing when I did it, or so I thought) but I was simply enjoying the challenge and not the material.


Hell, today I helped a bunch of people out at work wit htechical crap and it didn't make me feel better.

..and then, when the day was coming to a close and I was all grouchy and bitchy something great happened.

A guy broke down in the middle of the street. No one would help him.

What did I do. In the rainand humidity, I helped him push his minivan about 50 yeards UPHILL so that he wouldn't get towed (cops were right there)

Somehow I feel that I am destined to be a people person...a politician or something....but an incorruptible one...

I wonder if you could get into technical writing or some similar field. there must be all sorts of jobs which require an engineering background/ training, but involve more of the writing side of things.

Good luck to you in whatever you decide to do.

I am not really sure what I want to specialize in. engineering is very interesting but perhaps I am just approachign it correctly. I have always been somewhat of a loner...or a leader:)


So far, I have not had a chance to be a leader in engineering and have therefore resorted to being just a loner...and it is lonely....:(


I really don't know.

If anything, I will contineu taking EE clases but liberal arts classes as well...lots of 'em

There is no point in not even getting an associates in ANYTHING simply because I have a mental block in something that is proving difficult to me...

Try taking some political science or international studies courses. How far along in engineering are you? The thing about switching from engineering to something like poli sci (or another social science) is that a lot of the engineering courses are completely useless under the major. I started out shooting for engineering but switched into econ at the beginning of sophomore year. There were a few classes that I had already taken that set me back in my new major.

You could always go into something like Scandinavian Sexuality or something. ;)
