<p>Hello CC! Long time no see. </p>
<p>I'm here to ask of your advice once again. Currently, I am an Electrical Engineering sophomore. I've noticed lately that I really don't like any of my classes and I'm really becoming bored. So, I've been thinking of changing majors. I love math and I've gotten A's in all of my math classes, but that's only up to differential equations and I know that the classes change once you get to the higher level courses. I feel that this major would better suit me. I think the problem I have with the way engineering courses are taught is they tell you what to do, but not why to do it. (Make sense?) </p>
<p>My concerns with becoming a mathematics major are the following:</p>
<p>Career. I don't really know what I would do as a career. I'm in a University Honors Program that requires me to conduct research for my degree. So I had already planned on going to graduate school, no matter my major. What kind of careers do math majors usually have? I mean TYPICAL careers, not a once in a blue moon case. I've never really had a concern with getting a job being an EE major, but now I've begun thinking. </p>
<p>Research. Currently, I'm conducting research on low power implantable devices. Again, it is becoming boring for me. I'll have to do research as a mathematics major, but I'm afraid that it would be too difficult. I also have almost no idea what kind of research goes on and what the nature of the research is. Any insight on this would be helpful. </p>
<p>Courseload / Difficulty. Now that I've almost completed two years of the Electrical Engineering program, I am afraid that I may be behind as a mathematics major. I looked into it somewhat, and if I change majors, I will be one class away from an EE minor; so I think I would go ahead and take the class to get it. I will be behind somewhat in the mathematics curriculum, but I can still graduate on time if I take an extra math course or two each semester than recommended. I'm not considering changing majors because I'm struggling; I currently hold a 3.9 GPA, but I am concerned with the difficulty of a mathematics major. I've never had any experience with proof reading or writing except the minimum done in a calculus course. This scares me. </p>
<p>Anyway, thanks for reading this far guys! Any advice on this would be awesome! I'm worrying myself to death with this. </p>
<p>Thanks again (:</p>
