career choices:

fuck engineering. i would never be able to do that.
economics ftw

Anything related to healthcare and medical fields is a good one to go into. You don't necessarily have to be in the field, but work for a company that deals with some aspect.
Baby boomers are not getting any younger.

[mrsleeve]

Govt is takeing that over. there wont be any money in that any more

Well today in class i fell in love with physics and was thinking about leaving mech engineering also lmao....

Dunno what to do know....

[bimmer_E30]

So i have a big decision to make, I have interest in all of these.

-Avionics Technician
-Chemical Technologist
-Computer Network Administrator
-Machinist
-Petroleum Engineering Technologist

don't know, i have 3-4 months to think about this i really need help from someone. i am so stressed out.

Air force?

[Alkasquawlik]

maybe go talk to your schools advisor/counseler?

[James]

Stop posting on R3v so much and study. I think that would be best for everyone involved here.

[bimmer_E30]

lol^^ i actually studed my ass off last semster. the shit is hard dude.

i am going to see the school advisor tomorrow.

Goodnight R3v. thanks for the help.

lol i agree with you about boring.

mechanical is really good..it's just the stupid static, Stress, and dynamics.


frick i don't be stuck in school for 3 years were i could finish it in 2 years if i pass statics.

Statics, mechanics of materials, dynamics...you just named off the three most imparitive subjects for a Mechanical Engineer.

Work through Statics - if you can't, then you need to find something that you enjoy. If you enjoy statics - go ask for help!

I graduate in May, and I struggled like a mad-man. I've really worked my ass off the last 2 years, but it's paid off tremendously! Stick with it, engineering is a great degree to have! :D

i don't enjoy statics at all.. maybe i will if i only have statics not other 7 courses to worry about. ;)

and i already droped out from the Programm. i have to Apply again for the programm and apply for another student loan. if i do it, it will be another 2 years lol.

Better to figure out now than later down the road! ;)

[bimmer_E30]

so i am 99% on the C.N.A programm. Wish me luck guys.

you need to take those two courses if you're majoring in any type of engineering. then you will take more advanced versions of those courses if you're majoring in mechanical.

I'm finishing up my EE degree at UCSB, never took statics or dynamics although they did seem like interesting classes (kinda wish I did). YMMV though.

Seriously, if you don't like math you probably shouldn't be doing engineering. Most of the stuff they make you do out by hand you will have programs to do for you easily, but you'll still need to understand it fundamentally and have an idea of what's going on.

Edit: Good luck. :p

believe it or not, i am really good at math. it's simple and easy. but Statics MEC132 is a complete shithole. and i ended up with a B+ in Calculs.
