Why the fuck would you even go to college in america if youre not in stem? You get a life of debt for knowledge that can be easily accessed through books and online content. I'd suggest you drop out anyway and try to find an alternative way to make money because you sure as hell are not gonna be making much money after graduating in a humanities subject or working as an engineer while being hundreds of thousands in debt.

become a lawyer maybe idk

tsmt

You don't need to know that much maths, just differential equations and probabilities

Electrical engineering is cool, just lock in or something

>>85795
it sounded cool on paper but its so fucking boring, i literally just chatgpt all of my work due to how fucking boring it is and i am just whizzing past all my work. i genuinely have no idea why i chose STEM in the first place when i never cared about it or found it engaging
>>85796
maybe, arguing cases n shit sounds interesting but i wouldn't want to be stuck in an office analysing hundreds of random clauses and documents about laws and be stuck as a barrister or smt
>>85797>>85798
its just not that interesting to me, some love it like my inkwell classmates, but i do not fit in at all

Either quit college completely, or finish your engineering degree. Its a waste of 1 year's worth of money and time but its better to quit with that then to finish a humanities degree and work at starbucks paying it off for like 30 years.
Have you looked into swapping to another engineering/stem course? Look through the options, the transition will be easier and they still have more job prospects.
I like STEM, but I prefer history/geography. I'm still doing an engineering degree because I hated how history was taught at school and it has 0 job prospects. Doebeit you seem to not like STEM at all, if you can't get past doing physics/maths it doesn't sound like its the right thing for you

i’ll be honest my degree is making me miserable since i do not care about the modules in it. i don't have the technical ability or motivation to continue in engineering compared to something like human geography/geopolitics.
shit like demographics and urban development is a lot more interesting than random formulas, i don’t want to quit uni since i still would like to apply myself and its a very good way for getting connections + experience
but yeah i just cant be bothered doing any more maths when i can just move onto something more enjoyable and interesting

>>85836
if you like urban development aren't there jobs working for the city for that
Idk which degree exactly that links to but its probably something to do with geography. You won't be avoiding maths, but doing a lot more statistics instead of regular equations

>>85851
You mean civil engineering?

>>85852
Im not sure if it would fall under civil engineering, but it might. It might be them who decide things like zoning laws or where to build a new school. If your uni allows it, check out a lecture or two from the civil engineering course, and if you like it, see if you can swap

>>85851
most if not all of them require a bachelors in environmental management or urban planning, and i have no idea where else to get experience apart from volunteering in homeless programmes or smt, and honestly stat work is a lot more relatable to what i'd like to work with
>>85854
like other engineering fields it involves a lot of technical and maths work, i checked the modules and it nearly looks identical to first year ee work in terms of maths and abstract maths.
generally not what im interested in, i appreciate the efforts tho but i think my heart is screaming at me to do geography since its so versatile and urban planning seems natural

algo noticed that apparently theres a demand for skills in GIS and geo-spatial data, i can work with risk consulting for banks and insurance etc. so geography might not be a bad choice afterall
i just needed somewhere to say ts outloud and wondered if anyone else was in a similar position

>>85862
Definitely look into the urban planning / environmental management courses or whatever it is you need for the geo-spatial data stuff. If you can find and change courses by the next uni year, you will have only lost one year, which isn't that bad. Look into this in depth and make sure you know what you need to do to swap courses. Don't waste any more time/money with engineering if its clearly not what you want. If you're interested in the job positions available from them thats good, you have a post-grad plan, so you won't end up like an art graduate thats working at starbucks.
