First Mod 375 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 - I'm bad at math but I'm at an engineering college and I'm suffering... In my country, you have to take two years of advanced maths (classes prépas) before taking final exams to enter engineering schools. Your rank in those exams will determine which schools and which majors you can be accepted in. Some students retake the second year if they're not satisfied with their results. ps: it's my fourth year working as a civil engineer now, my studying years were a rollercoaster but it's nice memories.

black_miri 5,874 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 I can understand where they're coming from. Today is really not easy to choose something that make you feel accomplished and at the same time giving you a stable income.. And these.. It's different from what I expected The major has low employment rate The major isn't preferred by companies There are too many things to learn The content is far from the reality ...are basically the same reasons why I regret choosing my major *sigh*. The struggle is real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totally-seopies 1,786 Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 People change all the same, its not that uncommon I chose my first major because my family bullied me into it because of the prospect of earning a lot of money, but I did horribly because I was so bad at it and hated it.
