>>7615703I was always pretty shit at math and even got put in the special math class for dumb kids at one point in middle school. I really excel at programming and hands on electronics lab work so I went into computer engineering thinking it would be mostly that, but it was 75% studying calculus out of textbooks. It was four years of hell just to keep up with the huge workload and graduate, but I'm really glad I did it.
Keep in mind that other things you can do at university might seem easier, but unlike engineering you need a Master's degree or better to get a career out of it. This means being at the top of your class during undergrad and then another two or more years in school.
I have three friends who switched from engineering to easier majors. One went into nursing, graduated, and is very happy with his life. One went into chemistry, got a bachelor's degree but couldn't get into a Master's program and now works as a mailman. The other one kept changing degrees looking for something he was better at to the point where he'd been at university for five years without getting anywhere and finally gave up on it.
