I have seen a lot of educational based questions here so i thought Id ask one.
I am a current EE and computer engineering student, I haven't started on any of the EE classes yet and have only really done computer science stuff. Even so I would like to get this degree as I really enjoy this stuff.
There is a problem though, I see this thread https://www.physicsforums.com/showthread.php?t=148779 and read it and feel horrible. I don't have a very high GPA. I study a lot, and when I say a lot I mean I can't study anymore, as there are only 24 hours in a day and I need at least 3 hours of sleep a night or I will fall over. In all the extra time I am either in classes or in the library studying. I don't do much else, except maybe once a week I spend a hour in the grocery store and spend maybe a half hour in the bathroom a day. Well what I am getting at is, even though I study a lot, I still do bad. I only have a 2.4 gpa now and am really struggling in classes that my friends make look so easy. They barely study and don't have phenomenal GPA's either, but they get better grades than me and don't put in a 1/8th of the time I do studying. I guess this could possibly because I Have a learning disability and always have throughout my entire life. Even though in HS they said i didn't anymore.
I do really love the material and want to overcome the odds, I don't want to study business and such like the rest. But wonder if I am wasting my time, as even though I am struggling, what company would want a person like me when they could have the next guy. I am not even sure if it is the learning disability or not. Though i don't want to be screwed when i go to get a job. hopefully some of you professionals and other students could possibly give some advice.
so far in college the classes I have struggled the most in have been math and science and the classes I have done the best in have been History, Computer Science and English. Even though I have not done all to well in the math and science i still really like it.
