I'm studying engineering right now. I got a bunch of choices of what to do with my life, as everyone does. Truth be told, no one knows what the BESTEST choice is, no one can predict how their life is going to be 5 years ahead. You just choose what you think is for the better.
I've chosen engineering because I like math, physics and tecnology. It's a hard path, they pay engineers a lot of money because few people manage to graduate (which is one of the reasons of the high demand for this profession).
After 3 years of university, and failing a lot of classes, I tought about giving up. I started procastinating, feeling apathetic. Then I realised it was just depression kicking in (which AS and isolation can make it worse). I made some wrong rationalizations, like major=life=happiness, which is absolutely not true. Before making any decisions, check your mind health.
Anyway, now I think engineering is a great path. I've been talking to some teachers, and I concluded that engineering is more of an art than a profession. An art of making things that will improve and change the life of many (think about cellphones, cars, computers, buildings, etc etc), an imperfect field (things always break) for imperfect humans, made by other imperfect humans. An art that uses many tools (like math, computers) to minimise the errors. It's impossible to be 100% right, you're just less wrong than yesterday. And I'm starting to like it.
Anyway, I ranted. I just wanted to show you my choices. And 10 years in the future it might be a mistake, or not. But I can change. A degree is definitely not who you are, nor it defines your happiness. But there is no wrong choices, just different consequences. And it's never too late to change (well, maybe when you die).
