<p>So right now I'm in an Engineering Technology program at RIT and I am not sure whether or not I want to stay in engineering. I am planning on transferring next year to an engineering program somewhere else but, the problem is, I dont know if I like engineering or not. </p>

<p>The only thing that assures me is that it seems like there is nothing else out there. can anyone give me a suggestion on what I can to do figure out what I really like to major in?</p>

<p>Other considerations are something along the lines of business, marketing, economics or possibly architecture.</p>

<p>Did you just start at RIT this year?</p>

<p>What was the original reason you decided on engineering?</p>

<li><p>Yes this is my first year</p></li>
<li><p>I chose engineering because it seems like the only thing I would like to do.</p></li>
</ol>

<p>And what exactly is it about the RIT program that you don't like? Can you pinpoint that? (I know it's hard sometimes.)</p>

<p>Engineering Tech is a good field - the pay is good and there is demand. You've probably already discovered that it's a tad less demanding than regular engineering?</p>

<p>Frankly, I think it's WAY too early to be quitting. MAKE AN APPT WITH YOUR ADVISOR TOMORROW!!! I know you have one - and I bet you've never talked with him/her. Tell him/her your concerns. See what they say.</p>

<p>I feel that Engineering Tech is for slackers or something.... I don't know but it seems like I'm in class with a lot of slackers. </p>

  1. Not every engineer needs to be licensed; it depends on what field and what sector you work in.
  2. You can be a professional engineer in NY state with a technology degree. See <a href="http://www.op.nysed.gov/pelic.htm%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.op.nysed.gov/pelic.htm&lt;/a> The only difference is you need more work experience than somebody with an engineering degree.</p>
