<p>Jimmy, I would consider doing it over the summer, but I would think really hard about it. Like sv3a said, your going to need to be able to back that up with a reason because med schools will know its easier.</p>
<p>Shoe, don't worry about it, sv3a made some very good points about the usefulness of an engineering major. Engineering has the ability to be really cool or really boring. You can be working on something cutting edge, or you could easily get stuck in a boring job with a good starting salary and no room for growth.</p>
<p>But in the end, its not all about money. I know cav is going to vehemently disagree with me, but to me its about doing something you enjoy. I would rather be a professor than an IBanker regardless of how little money a professor makes in comparison. Then again, quant gigs are amazing and they do quite well.</p>
<p>I think that's my problem: I don't enjoy EE. It just doesn't make sense, and the only reason I picked it is because I figured it could lead to a job at NASA (I don't want to do ME/AoE). I think I might want to switch to systems, as it would lead to more opportunities, and I can still work for NASA, and I won't hate life. I'm gonna talk to my advisor and my STS101 teacher (Jack Brown, he's so sweet and will tell it to me as it is...last time I talked to him about it, I think he could tell I hate EE) and sign up for EE classes for spring, but think about it long and hard. We'll see...I don't want to give up on EE, but it's pretty miserable. So...</p>
<p>ha, i speak from experience when I say NASA jobs aren't that interesting if your not in ME/AoE either. I mean I did really enjoy my time, but if you aren't getting excited about it now, you wouldn't be excited about it there either.</p>
<p>EE classes are dry long and boring, thats kind of the long and short of it. When I wanted to do EE, I really liked the grand picture, the idea, and some of the projects I had seen, but when I sat in some classes, I almost died. The day to day seems to be much less attractive than some other disciplines. What is it about EE that you dont like? Is there just nothing in it that interests you (project/work/research-wise) or is it the classes?</p>
