I’m the type of student who’ll ask the most questions in class but care the least about exams, usually study last minute and get by with a C. I dropped out of CS after my freshmen year after realizing i’ve lost interest in it, causing me to continuously fail the weedout class. I took business classes in highschool and an economic class in college. Business comes easy to me, i’m good with memorizing information and got good grades in those class. Decided to switch majors to Business admin with a concentration in MIS (Management Information Systems) because the course highlighted what I actually enjoyed in CS while being integrated with business. Now let me introduce something i always enjoyed but over the last year, after some ups and downs, realized it’s the thing i’m most passionate about in life is cars. It’s not even just that, it’s become an emotional attachment to how they work and driving. I put endless miles on my car driving at night, it’s the only time i feel like i can really focus and dial in on my thoughts, along with endless hours researching things to make it perform better and safer, put alot of money and hours into getting tools to do mechanical work myself just so i can learn more about them. I never saw myself working in an office the rest of my life and always planned on having a few businesses running after I had enough money earned from my job. I know i’m not going to be contempt living a lifestyle not feeding my love for cars. It’s an expensive hobby. So now i’m contemplating pursuing Mechanical Engineering. Why I didn’t choose this before? Because I believed you shouldn’t turn your passion into your work, but i’ve realized i work better when it’s driven by passion. I’m midway through sophomore year, stuck between getting a degree that i know i’ll get a good gpa with and graduate with it within 4 years, or should I go back into STEM knowing the difficulty curve for me, probably will have to spend an extra year in college. My college career advisors are absolute ass, and I don’t really have someone that understands where I’m coming from.
