You'll like the paycheck. And no that's not what it's all about, but I imagine it's nice.
EngineerZero
What kind of engineering? I know engineers that I graduated with that now have nothing to do with engineering but love their jobs.

On the upside, you're probably be one of the last people to lose their job to robots.
WickedWitchoftheMidwest
My fiancé just said yesterday that an engineering degree is a degree in reliability and work ethic. Put THAT to work for you!
Calculussucks
People hire engineers sometimes because they're smart, and because the degree is such hard work. You will be fine, @OP
mknut389
Engineering sucks the biggest donkey penis while you're in school. You'll love the 60+salary and typical work schedule while others struggle
Dartmuthia
Dude, story of my life. I only have one semester left though.
nickmx101
I'm an electrical eng and I hate engineering. Worked 7yrs as a tutor, lecturer, and unit coord at my uni. Students and I loved it. ☺️
nickmx101
Engineering is a doorway. Not a destination. Do it your way.
valen00
You hate engineering school, actually making things after you understand it rather than before may well be different
PercyLeCoeur
An engineering education is simply a way to prove to the world that you can think through problems logically and get things done.
Cerinna
I am in the exact same situation, just not with engineering. Fortunately my diploma will make me wanted elsewhere, too. Yours will too. :)
Tlaxxil
Ay congrats
awwwfuucckkk
What major?
vkmi
I'd offer you a beer and a hug, if I could. Been there, pushed through the last shitty exams, was worth it. Stay strong.
scrag1602
@OP Did a mech. eng. degree & hated it, now I mix bands for a living & love it! It's not a life-ending mistake. Good luck :)
Neokid7147
No joke 4 months left still hate it but realized I hated it 3 yeaars in..too late
strooongsaaad
Lots of related jobs you can look for. Or use it to get into med school
mollyisthenameofmybicycle
Or law school, patent lawyers clean up because not many people have engineering and law backgrounds
RedroverRedrover
Where I live you need really good grades to get into med school, and it's tough to get that high an average in engineering.

Having the same problem
NuclearDawn242
What discipline?
KNIVESY
My dad studied mechanical engineering in college. His job title now is sales director for latinamerica for Doosan.
travishummel
Oh my god! I'm right there with you! I'm 3 years in... money is good so I'll stay for a while haha
MultiplePersonalitiesProfile
The fact that you felt the need to say you're a girl I'm engineering probably means you're not cut out for it.
MultiplePersonalitiesProfile
Still, the skills you've learned will be super useful in a lot of other fields and will differentiate you a lot.
Zagalion
Oh man I understand you sooooo well !! And moreover I have such bad grades now!
DemSumBigAssRidges
Getting an engineering degree doesn't limit you to engineering jobs. Friend experiences say it opens up other opportunities.
kilppis
This! Also having degree doesn't prevent from getting another once you find the thing your looking for. -B.E. in IT
ChronoTimer
Lots of places will hire you just because they need an engineer to sogn off on things. Doesn't even need to be in the same field as degree
cptwott
Same thing here, didn't want to be an engineer. But you can still do something else with the diploma. I became teacher.
Cerinna
Exactly what I am planning to do with my vet's diploma when I finally graduate!
SuperRockinMrMagic
I find the money to be good enough to put up with what engineering in the real world actually is
AMacGyver
My wife has an education degree and I have a BS in chemistry. She's a seamstress and I'm a QC tech (no chemistry involved, sadly)
BeachesAndHoes
What kind of teacher,
AsAliveAsARock
Not all jobs that want engineers is a direct use of engineering. So um, good luck ladybro!
Igpayatinlay
Yeah, a woman i talked to went to Princeton for engineering and ended up working on software for Goldman Sachs
PossiblyYourMother
As a recent computer engineering undergraduate who now works in a totally different field, you can do it!
HeyMyCat
Packaging Engineer. Seriously, do it. You'll be bored out of your intelligent little mind but you'll be set for life.
ErectileFunction
This.
MexicaninQatar
engineer here working in oil industry. don't use anything l learned in college. they just teach me all I do... worth it!
thomasisabigfatweiner
My CEO is an engineer! (And he makes 10 mil/year!)
AsAliveAsARock
Damn, man. Should have been an engineer...
thomasisabigfatweiner
He's got a degree in mechanical engineering and an MBA to be fair, so there is kind of that... but he's an engineer nonetheless!
TurnDownForThis
My dad's an EE and literally has always been in sales.
ILikeBrocolis
Dude, 5th year electrical engineering, hate the course, but now I'm working with Sales Operations, and I have found my calling. 1/2
ILikeBrocolis
I feel like engineering show how hard you can work, and how much you can learn. Good luck!
Shamorza
True dat. Take my uncle for example, he has a degree in robotic engineering but works as a strip dancer.
badgerballs
I'll take him!
SnailPlissken
Are you sure he didn't built a bunch of robot clones of himself and let them work various professions while he sit back and relax?
ilikeitilikeitalot
Biomed Engineer that just landed an awesome job as a business dev specialist. Engineering is just a way to get an awesome foot in the door.
Zeppdude
For better understanding, speak in imgurian:you're three fiddy ofthe way done,at 30 speed you'll finish soon,and everything in banana scale.
hardcorejazzhands
The cringe is unreal
Mcpee
Saw only 2 out 10 engineers doing the engineer's work , especially in the case of electrical.
MichaeIJCaboose
When I worked as a welder, mostly our engineer would complain about us and vice versa.
RedroverRedrover
I took electrical engineering. Ended up in software dev and now I'm in the business side of product development. Good degree to have though.
yesyoucancancan
Hey... Me too. Wierd.
RedroverRedrover
The way you spell weird is weird. ;)
NoxInSox
This how I was with it...now I just want to be a Project manager but would then need more certs/schooling. Gotta keep on keepin on..
AsAliveAsARock
If you can get some vaguely project related experience and then get a PMP you should be able to enter in to it
NoxInSox
I guess I have the basic exp, just need the PMP?
NoxInSox
I've been in the field for 5 years now, 3 of which was a Pm, scrum master and lvl3 tech support smashed under the title "Production Support"
AsAliveAsARock
Shit dude, how are you not a project manager yet? Yeah, 2nd hand, I've heard that PMP does help. Apply all over too!
NoxInSox
Hmm, I guess I need to just get on my shit. I already started throwing the gears of changes at my work now.
NoxInSox
Took a t1 job to get me by (same pay as other old job to put in perspective of how fucked I was getting right out of school)
AsAliveAsARock
Most people get fucked right out of school these days. Sigh. Amp up your resume, and you may need to move, but shit, I'm optimistic.
