Emily AddedWednesday, April 5, 2017 at 12:22 PM Failing out of engineering and don't know where to go in life. What should I do? What are my options? Why do I feel like it's the end of the world? I love math and physics and can see myself in engineering in the future. I have however not done well in physics 2 twice (I completely blame myself for not trying hard enough and feel like I have ruined my future because of poor choices). My college only allows two attempts for this class so my advisor told me to start looking into new majors. I can't see myself doing anything else. I've been so passionate about engineering ever since I got into it and don't think there's another major that comes even close to it. I have a certain picture in my head for the future where I am helping others and see engineering as the only way to get there. My school won't let me stay in engineering. I have no idea of what other career paths I would want to take. I like problem solving, math, physics, helping others, and physically buildings things (electronics, etc.) Please help and offer ideas. At this point I feel like there's nothing left and I've just failed at the only thing I've ever wanted to do.

Find out whether you can stay in engineering if you pass this course at a community college. If not, are you willing to attend a different school? I did not do well in this course, or in my higher level calculus classes, and I have had a successful career in civil engineering for over 10 years. You do need to have a solid foundation in Newtonian physics (physics 1) to get through most engineering curricula, but at my university, most of our engineering students struggled in math and physics simply because they were in a different department, and the engineering professors recognized this. If you have a passion for engineering, stick with it and find a way! This experience might be your interview response to "tell me about a time you overcame adversity" or other standard interview questions. Good luck!
