Advice for a Conflicted ME Student

[QUOTE="BioChance, post: 5502257, member: 592930"] Hello everyone, I am a masters student 1/3 of the way through the mechanical engineering program at my school. At some point I have come to the realization that I am really not that mechanically inclined. It seems I have natural tendency towards circuit design and electronics. I really enjoy doing circuit analysis, building, and testing devices and for some reason I come alive when I'm doing it. It seems a little too late for me to switch over at this point as I do not have enough of a background to jump into a graduate EE or ECE program and financially it would be impractical at this time as I am already barrowing money and can't afford to take on extra coursework needed to complete such a degree. As a result I have decided to stick it out, but I find I am having to force myself to stay interested at times. Sometimes I feel a bit concerned that will not have enough intrinsic to keep me going in this field after graduation. I don't know why I can't seem get the same level of wonder and excitment out of mechanical subjects and projects that I get from electronics. There's a concern that this may hold me back from being an exceptional engineer. Any words of advice for someone in my situation? [/QUOTE]
