Don't you gotta be a math GOD for engeneering?
I'm pretty good with math but that Trigonometry be having a nikka like
No u don't have to be a mathematical genius to be an engineer. As soon as nikkas get over this ridiculous fear of math, the sooner we can eat as a community.
Listen to this dude, shyt I graduated with a finance degree and if I could do it all over again I would've did accounting.
Whaddup Thuglife..
I'm actually an accountant. You will never have a real shortage of jobs in my field. Remember no matter if starting or ending a business you need accountants.
Hell you need accountants in almost every aspect of business. I would advise that if you want to move up in the future. Major in Accounting and minor in management. Also get your CPA after college. It may not help you directly but having a CPA license is a resume builder and offers you room for salary negotiations.
Also if you feel it in your spirit (and future debt) consider getting a masters in Finance on top of your accounting degree. You will open yourself up to MAJOR career opportunities. Particularly with VP positions or becoming Corporate Controller.
Just my two cents.
BTW finish school!!!! You will be winning at life

Go to community or public college, unless you have a full ride(or at least grants and aid that covers most of your tuition).
this if I could do my first 2 yrs over again I would have went to a community college and knocked out all my pre reqs and core classes
sent from my phone nikka....
pretty much
also remember to do summer school that's another thing I regret. I was too focused on making money and people I know that graduated on time or early were doing 8 hrs+ during summer school every summer

Listen homie. No offense to the other posters but your not going to be handed a golden key.
This is going to sound redundant and unhelpful but if you find something you love to do, you'll be okay.
I'll tell you something real. My homie had a gig when we were 16. He used to cut the grass at the golf course and manage the greens or some shyt. It was cool for him cause he was on the golf team, plus he loved to golf, it also paid 14 an hour and he was there like 4-6 days a week. Anyway he kinda thought that he wanted to design golf courses or some shyt...ended up going to school for accounting or something you figure would always be in demand..He graduated with that, as a summer job when he came back he went back to his old job, cutting..He knew the owners and still loves the games, it turns out they started having him be a golf tutor and run camps for kids and shyt. Now they are getting him to provide input in a new area where they are putting up a new golf course and it's being cropped to mimics some of the best holes in the US and internationally.
Other than that he has of course met famous golfers and trainers, he's done some traveling, been to the senior pga tour and some other shyts. In spring he's going to be taking pictures because he's putting out a little golfing book with keys to the green and tips etc.
It's wild because we are like damn maybe you will design courses one day. He's far from rich but he's making 50gs a year, he's single, no kids, no car note....if he ever gets bored or tired from golf or whatever which is unlikely since he's loved it since he was a kid, he can fall back on his degree.
I have a story a cat I knew that is big into lighting and sound I've told this before in another thread he was in theater, he started doing lighting and sound for the school musicals and such. Dude knew the system so well, they had him set up for conferences, he even did the hook up for graduation. Did so well he got 'hired' mind you he was 17..to back and forth from our 2 high schools and hook up lighting and sound...dude networked..was doing it for local theaters and stages in the city that do plays/musicals, conferences/....He's worked at the 2 local arenas from our home town plus travelled to the stadiums where football is played to set up gigs there. I know at some point he was doing community college just to have some backing cause hes said when hes 60 he doesnt want to be climbing above stages to set lights and do that shyt. But that was roughly 7 years ago. He has some cool stories and have met some cool famous people. Like Paul McCartney asked him to make the lights do something crazy when he did a show there, Paul was asking him one on one if he could set up a light so it reflected off of him during a solo, not commanding but genuinely interested and bouncing ideas off this 23year old kid...its just one of the more interesting stories he has told but who would have ever thought that shyt would take him this far?
shyt breh I know this is a lot to read and it should be taken with a grain of salt, I can tell you from experience I've had a job where the money was good and all I had to do was shut the fukk up and punch in, but that shyt wasn't sweet, I wasn't happy, I got burned out and it was the only time I wanted to literally jump off a cliff. I seriously walked out of work during my shift and came back a day and a half later and whereas other people woulda got written up or fired, they didn't say anything but "hi"...
I got a best friend who is finishing the new york film academy program in LA, his shyt is in some film festival right now.
I got a girl who is an actor/singer and just moved from Australia to New Zealand and signed a recording contract.
I got a homie who works in a verizon store and makes 45gs a year
And a cat who is one of if not the best bartender in my state and he makes duckets.
I also have a friend who is a biologist (a birder if you will) has travel a bunch of places in US, Canada and Mexico..is going to Iceland next winter.
That shyt is sweet but it ain't for everyone. You gotta be you, find what you love and just go.

Nope, but you gotta be willing to work hard.
That sounds scary, but as long as you take one step at a time you'll be fine. Struggle will happen, but that isn't uncommon and most people experience that. They still get through it though.

OP ignore this post.
Go to CC your first two year to keep costs low.
Do summer school, work and stay focused.
When they have job fairs on campus looking for interns you need to be there networking.
Transfer to a four year and graduate on time.
