Hello!
This is my first post :D
Most of my life, I've been wanting to be a medical doctor. I dumped that idea in 2008 (I graduated high school in 2009). Ever since then, it's been an off-and-on relationship. However, I ignore it because the reason I don't want to be a medical doctor is because of the long work hours and other factors that are irrelevant to my post.
My point is that last year, I decided to study mechanical engineering at UNLV. I've been for two years at a community college, so I'll be transferring to UNLV next year after I'm done with physics. Yet, I'm not totally sure if it's the right career path for me. I read a book called Is there an engineer inside you? that made me pretty comfortable with my decision. I'm not the best at mathematics, but I do love the subject; I enjoy struggling to study new concepts and I've only been tutored twice in two years (my lowest class in math was a B once).
To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what I would do with a mechanical engineering degree; that book was pretty vague. It was as vague as what it said was the general public's idea of what an engineer does.
I considered architecture once, but like I told a UNLV advisor, "I'm not an artist." Science and math is my thing, and I know that's where I want to be. But is mechanical engineering right for me?
