<p>I'm good at math. I love science. I like to innovate</p>
<p>sounds like a path to engineering, but I heard that it's very stressful to be an engineer.</p>
<p>I've thought about:
aerospace e (those nasa stuff look mindblowing!)
mech e
chem e
business
com s
business (minor)
management/leadership(double major/minor)
psychology (therapist? it makes a lot and it's useful personally)</p>
<p>I'm currently taking a com sci class right now. I started with a blank slate, and with seniritis, it's not working out too well.</p>
<p>My ambition is to contribute to the world in a big way in the future. Like world hunger, energy, super deadly viruses, etc.</p>
<p>Never liked taxonomy in biology, so doctor never appealed to me. </p>
<p>I haven’t heard it’s very stressful to be an engineer; on the contrary, I’ve heard it’s very interesting. I have met a number of people who aren’t engineers but work with engineers and those people have told me they wished they had done engineering so they could work on such cool stuff.</p>
<p>You could be a Hunger Fighter, a Microbe Hunter, or a Particle Hunter. Read books by Paul de kruif or by Yuval Ne’eman/Yoram Kirsh (those titles) if you can find them. For more inspiration, anything by Oliver Sacks or The Man Who Fed the World by Leon Hesser about Dr. Norman Borlaug or biographies about Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Nikola Tesla, Linus Pauling, Richard Feynman, C.P. Steinmetz, Paul Erdős or Srīnivāsa Rāmānujan.
Good luck.</p>
<p>it just came to me that I’m more worried about the long term benefits. I can take stress in college. I just don’t want to be stressed out for the rest of my life, you know.</p>
<p>But from my perspective, computer science majors eventually wind up with thick glasses, sitting in a room all day with pasty skin, and die at an early age. Maybe that’s just a terrible stereotype lol.</p>
<p>I don’t think working as an engineer is any more or less stressful than any other position. You will still have to perform well and you will still have deadlines to meet.</p>
