Ok so here is my story. I am 22 now and I am struggling through an electrical engineering degree. I have no idea why I chose electrical engineering, I guess because I have an interest in computers. However I am finding the degree very dry and boring, I have little drive to do the required workload and have racked up my fair share of failures. This semester I decided to take chemistry as an elective. I have rather thoroughly enjoyed this course so far despite having carried over my bad habits of leaving things to the last minute that I picked up from engineering and high school. My score in the midsemester exam was only 60% and I am really quite disappointed as I thought I would do better. However there is still time to improve and pull my final mark up to an 80% perhaps. I have found chemistry wierldly challenging, especially the laboritories. I am used to the equations and logic of engineering however chemistry is actually interesting. You think wow.. that's really cool when you do something in the lab.
Now I am around two years through a 5 year elec engineering course (mandatory 1 year of work experience). Chemistry is really appealling to me however switching over is a big decision and is a complete turn to what I was doing before. How hard does chemistry get? The thing I like about engineering is that no matter what the problem there is always a logical solution, it's just a matter of how much time it takes to reach that solution. If I changed to a bachelor of science majoring in applied chemistry (which is what my university offers), where could I go with it? I would get credits for what I have done and it would probably take me two more years to get the magical bit of paper. But where to from there? What are my options? Thankyou for reading :)
