Studied ME in undergrad and didn't take it seriously -- I started a business while in college and to be fair, it was worth the abysmal GPA. After undergrad, I kept my business going and worked in IT making a pretty good salary. I wasn't happy and dreaded every morning. Saved up some money and now I'm back in school going for my masters in ME. It's hard going back to being a student, but I'm not regretting it yet! Currently in my first semester and doing well in 3 of my 4 classes. Fluids kicked my ass in undergrad and history seems to be repeating itself in that regard.

Luckily my better half is also supporting me through this... she always said one of us has to try to find a career that we enjoy -- but she's not thrilled about taking the chance so that leaves me to do it :).

Hopefully I'll get in the habit of coming here to keep myself on my toes helping others when I have time.

I found this forum cause I was searching on Google if it's common for physics student to feel like they're in the wrong major in the first semester cause it feels like too much for me to learn the materials even the ones that are considered as "basic math" or "basic physics", I've initial fascination with the universe's mysteries and it disconnect with the reality of intense, foundational mathematics courses required...
