Blog 51 - Major

Throughout high school, I enjoyed my math and science classes.  So, as many people will advise you to do, if you like math and science, then take engineering.  Before college, I really wasn’t sure what I wanted to do.  I know that I liked some of the concepts of engineering, like designing structures, but I wasn’t exactly sure what to think about it.  But so far, I have enjoyed my engineering classes and I think it was a good choice.  Although, I am not exactly enjoying some of the prerequisites I have to take to get into my major.  I enjoyed math and science in high school, but it is a completely different situation in college.  I am excited that I am done with chemistry and after this quarter I will be done with calculus.  A part of me just wants to get these over with so I can start taking classes that actually pertain to my major.  I understand that calculus is a fundamental part of engineering, but I cannot see myself using most of what we learn in everyday life.  I actually did enjoy my engineering classes, so I feel like college will be better when that is the majority of the classes I am taking.  I am tired of taking calculating eigenvectors of matrixes (this is what we are doing in calculus) and I think next year will be more interesting.  If I were to change my major, I would probably change it to something in business.   Although I am actually interested in a lot of jobs that involve chemistry, I don’t like the class and I don’t think I could take anymore.
