I'll send you a burger king application to make you feel better

>mfw a brainlet thinks 120 is enough to succeed in STEM

And for the people who droped out, what did you switch to? I'm thinking about my options.

>>7714586
If you're too dumb for engineering, you can still do CS.

Switched to Geophysics

What engineering?

I dropped out three years ago. At least when I go back all the girls will still be 18. And I can be the cool old guy.

Dropped out after my first semester and switched to a BSc majoring in Maths and Stats. One of the best decisions I ever made.

>>7714717
Computer.

dropped out into physics and math double major

>>7714605
I'm planning on switching to (Condensed Matter)Physics if I don't make it(Comp E)

>>7714745
Electrical might be easier for you.

Unless you're an instrumentation superstar, I don't see how you're imagining being more successful in a research-driven academic track versus a more technical degree. I say instrumentation because if you're struggling in a comp. eng. degree there's no hope for you in theory.

paleograd here. I recently tutored a freshman undergraduate in math. he wants to major in engineering.
the math I was tutoring him in was algebra 1.

help me /sci/, I don't want to go to school in Texas any more

>>7715117

Algebra 1 at UT is pretty hard.

There is no excuse for even the average, but dedicated male to succeed in getting an undergraduate in any STEM program.
You are failing not because of you're intelligence, but because you haven't put in enough effort.

...so...happy?
Ignorance is bliss.

>>7715101
I know this feeling all too well.

They don't argue anymore though. Only during the recession of 2008.

>>7714601
Ignore this shitposter that only wants to decrease competition in job market

this. Second only to nuclear engineering in difficulty

It might not be his fault. I read several news stories in the past year that so and so high school was getting rid of Algebra 1 as a "worthless" subject.

if I drop out of my engineering (im a freshman) and although I love solving problems and doing engineering type stuff, I'm not sure if all the math involved is for me, since I only do well in sciences.

Would majoring in Geology be a bad life decision? or more importantly: Does /sci/ respect geology as a major or would I get shit on for being a geologist? What is the general consensus about geology?

It seems easy as fuck for a science guy, and most of the normies hate it cause they get bored too fast.

>>7715169
I did not proofread that...

I meant if I drop out of engineering, would geology be a good choice?

Is civil engineering real engineering?

>>7715162
Looking at all the brown kids coming out of the schools near me I understand why this is happening

>>7715183
yes, it is one of the most common and generalized forms of engineering.

>why study when you piss your time away by doing moronic frogpic shitposts

>>7715110
I'm not actually 'struggling' with my degree, it's just that I'm forced to take useless classes like humanities that have nothing to do with my major anyway which is a waste of valuable time considering I only have 3 years left to complete my units

>implying engineering is hard
come the fuck on

>>7714605
Switched to Molecular Biology and Organic Chem dual major.

>>7714608
Are you engineering?

>>7714605
Physics because it's the most interesting outside of engineering. I also can reapply to the engineering college if I get my GPA up, hopefully I can back into the programme and not fuck it up this time (basically had a panic attack last year, I've calmed down a bit now my average this semester is a 3.7 so hopefully the dean takes mercy on me).

>>7714605
If I do drop Engineering, it'll be for another meme degree lime pharm that makes lodsemone

I'm considering jumping ship from electrical engineering, even though I have a good GPA. I enjoy the material, but the field as a whole strikes me as really shallow.

Tossing around the idea of doing a masters in another field, and am currently looking for an internship at a university science department. I'm not even totally sure what fields really interest me though. Geoscience, atmospheric science, and oceanography are the first that come to mind, since they all seem like areas where you could apply engineering techniques in interesting ways.

Any tips?

>>7715169
Stop caring what /sci/ thinks christ.

Do your own research on the fields. Geology is fine, the job market isn't great, but no horrid either. Chemistry and Biology fields are also much less math heavy depending on the electives you take. Then there are plenty of niche degrees like pharma, food science etc.

Grin and bear it. I took a grad level math class this semester and was sure I was going to bomb the final. I studied in a panic for a week and, sure enough, breezed through the test.
