I could only guess, research based jobs.

I decided to stick with engineering, I Transferred schools, which was a really good decision on my part. Now I am only about 1.5 years away from graduating and my grades are improving, even though I still am uninterested in the material.

yea that's half a day but it was pretty boring non the less. any more engineers?

I'm a Junior studying Mechanical engineering. I am the first engineer in my family (my mom is a Physicist, but she's a teacher). I don't really know what i want to do with my engineering degree. Most of my family is in business or academia. One of my engineering teachers used to be an...

I haven't quit. I'm taking dynamics and thermo right now. I'm being tutored over the weekends and I'm relying heavily on the tutor. I want to do well. If I was to switch I would switch to economics. But I know the benefits of a engineering degree are irreplacable in todays economy. is it alight...

Hello, I am a Junior Level Mechanical Engineer. It feels like I have hit a brick wall in my Engineering classes. I have a 2.75 cumulative gpa (major is 2.6). During my first two years I didnt have many problems in my classes. I finnished Calc 1,2,3 + DiffEqus (with a grade of B or better) and...

Whoops meant the 31st :D

Im good at selling myself/ my persuasive and communication skills are much better than the average engineer? also at the time, my gpa was 3.11 (I applied as Freshmen, but it got postponed to my Sophomore summer where my gpa was 2.75)

Yea, i think all i need is a change of scenery, this school is awful. Sometime i wana punch myself in the face because i had the opportunity to go to University of Connecticut. I turned it down to go to Illinois tech because i though a smaller school would be better, little did i know that this...

Thank you for replying everyone. I have been thinking it and think it is the fact that i have little to no social life at college. I go to a small tech college (illinois institute of technology) where most kids go home over the weekend or they enjoy sitting in their room playing world of...

But the problem is that i don't see myself getting any other degree than mechanical engineering, well i do, but people keep telling me that Engineering will pay off the best in the future, and that its pretty much everything else is worthless to get a job.

Also, i go to a small Tech school, i don't have many friends because they all want to talk about physics or math even outside of class, and for some reason i am unable to keep up with them. After class, i need something that is totally different than engineering courses. I tried to transfer to a...

I know i have sort of contradicted myself in a few places, but that is the mental state i am in currently, so please give me recommendations. thanks

Hello, I am a Junior, majoring in mechanical Engineering. My current GPA is a 2.75 (2.6 major). At the end of my sophomore year i started feeling tired and sad all the time, but i ignored it because i thought i was just gettin tired because it was the end of the year. Last summer i had an...

IDK, i have always found math less annoying than Physics. I've acctually walked into a math class with a smile whereas physics has always been like, damn now i got physics. Maybe its just my parents, they have always sort off instilled in me that if i didnt to engineering i would be a worthless...
