    Studying If you are an engineer but find out you don't like it?

    "Make a choice right now!" "make a choice of engineering field based on the kinds of problems/areas one finds interesting or enjoyable" Honestly I don't know. I mean what I'd really like to do is become a physicists and work on theoretical physics. But some engineering classmates pushed me to...

    Studying If you are an engineer but find out you don't like it?

    Oh yeah they have that. I thought by engineering programs that meant like where they work on projects outside of normal classes

    Studying If you are an engineer but find out you don't like it?

    "You WILL NEED to make your own choices as you go." I'm well aware of this. I've only been asking for the tools abd resources and understanding of how I can better make that choice. Why don't people understand this? I'm simply trying to optimize my information collection to better figure put...

    Studying If you are an engineer but find out you don't like it?

    Can I attend engineering programs at a university even if I don't attend it and have not yet taken any classes regarding engineering except some math and science prerequisite classes? The community college I go to doesn't really have many programs going on. Especially not since covid.

    Studying If you are an engineer but find out you don't like it?

    "Your background does not scream "engineering" to me" I don't have an engineering background by why is that necessary? I mean I'm good at math and science and I like it. To me that's enough. If I were however to go into a field I have background in then it would be a live in care taker as I...

    Studying If you are an engineer but find out you don't like it?

    I really don't see why I have to have had done those things previous to have to become an engineer. Just because I never did those things doesn't mean they aren't things I'd want to do or would have liked to have done. And I've hit the pause button on my life long enough. I've had enough time...

    Studying If you are an engineer but find out you don't like it?

    1. What specific things in science are you interested in? I don't know. I like most of it I guess. The problem solving. The learning about how things work. But mostly it's a subject I typically get A's in. I'm good at it. One if my best subjects. That and maths. 2. Do you like taking things...

    Studying If you are an engineer but find out you don't like it?

    But look, first my replying via forums online is not a true representation of my entire being. Second, there is a world of other opportunities out there. Let's put them on the back burner. Put a pin in it. But so far I'd like to pursue engineering. Maybe there is a different career out there I...

    You are correct. I'm replying on mobile and running on low sleep as well as was waiting for a program to complete on matlab. I thank you and I apologize.

    Studying If you are an engineer but find out you don't like it?

    IMHO you are making too much of this. As if there was only one right choice I don't think there is one right choice. But I think there are choices in which i might not like and choices I might like. But ultimately I need to choose one path to get a degree in. Or is that not the case? Aside from...

    Studying If you are an engineer but find out you don't like it?

    One of the options they gave was patent law. Maybe it's a good career but I highly doubt I'd be happy doing it. Also why are alternatives even being discussed? So I don't know what field of engineering I want to go into yet. I'm only a freshman in college. I'm just looking for the resources and...

    Schools Calculus vs Calculus for Engineers (The community college only has the former)

    I think this is the best answer. Should I contact the university advisors?

    Schools Calculus vs Calculus for Engineers (The community college only has the former)

    To put plainly the class titles at the community college are "calculus 1,2,3" On the university website for the engineering degree the class titles are "Calculus for engineers 1,2,3" The community college does not have "Calculus for engineers 1,2,3" they only have "Calculus 1,2,3" so I was...

    Studying If you are an engineer but find out you don't like it?

    I don't intend to be the one to find a solution to these issues, I'm just saying I want to be able to work on them. I want to "help" come up with ideas like buildings that methods of absorbing solar light abd heat to turn that into energy. Maybe if just to have that idea out there so that in 50...

    Studying If you are an engineer but find out you don't like it?

    Ok so there seems to some major misconceptions going on so I feel I need to clarify. My worries is what if I get a degree in civil engineering but find I'd rather go into chemical engineering. This is just a hypothetical. So I I complete all the courses to become a Civil engineer but now want...
