I have NO passion to become an Engineer

So my new goal is to obtain a degree in Planetary Science….this doesn’t get me out of the MATH dilemma, does it?

I think I’ve done more growing in the past 2 years of university, then my whole life! It took me an entire academic year to acclimatize to the rush of it. They really kick you to the curb first year.
I’m entering 2nd year civil (I’m a bit in limbo between 2nd and 3rd year). I spent 08/09 in Geomatics engineering – definitely not me, an interesting experience though. It’s incredibly hard to stay focused in classes you have no interest in.
I cannot wait to get into more civil classes, I want to specialize in structural but I’m hesitant to make my goal “Become a Civil engineer” only because I’m young and I change my mind.
It took me 2 years to figure out I want to stay in Engineering (that it’s where I belong and where I want to be) but I’m still bouncing between civil and mechanical! =P

Leaving the bachelors program

I still want to be an engineer… someday :S.
The truth is I dunno where this leaves me on this goal. I won’t mark it as abandoned but it certainly won’t be completed for quite awhile.
Truth of the matter is it has taken me 18 months (3 uni semesters) to really find out that maths and physics is not the same as engineering. They seem similar and started out pretty much the way it was in school, but the way we’re taught and the learning atmosphere etc is totally different. I’ve always been one to marvel at science and how the world works, but the knowledge we’re taught in engineering is about how to change the existing world and service some need (to quote someone, can’t remember the name: “Scientists discover the world that is, engineers create the world that never was”). I’m more of a scientist after all :). I’m a rather proud person I admit, and leaving this course will rub off as a personal failure, but I suppose I really have to go where my heart is and it really isn’t in engineering right now. The image of hydrogen economy and working with scramjets is still alive, but I’ve learnt now it is more a romantic vision rather than a practical one :S
Bachelor of Science? Physics, Maths…
Bachelor of Arts? History, Political Science, International Relations…
perhaps a dual degree of those two?
Time to see the careers councillor I think!

I want to be an engineer because ever since I was little I have loved to build things, fix things, and make things.

Lovely 2/8 for that midsem exam! Still recovering from the freight train hit, going to find out what went wrong tomorrow :S.
Maths is by far the best subject so far… I’m thinking perhaps I should just become a mathematician lol.
