I am a 3rd year applied math major who transferred to CPP this past winter. I basically screwed up my GPA in community college and I didn’t get accepted into the EE program. I am certain that I can get my GPA up to at least a 3.0 after this quarter however I heard that the EE program requires at least a 3.6 gpa to even be considered. I know I really want to be an electrical engineer or at least work in the field but from all the testimonies I’ve heard about applied math majors, it seems the general consensus is becoming a teacher or actuary which i really don’t want to do. I really want to work in the science field, helping further research or technological advancement. So, I don’t know what to do. I’m really worried about my job prospects in the future and even more, I feel like I’m wasting my time.
EDIT: I’ve taken C, C++, and C sharp so I have experience with computer languages but I’m not sure how applicable they are…
