<p>I am technically a first semester Junior at GA State right now studying exercise science and planning to do Physical Therapy, I have about 69 hours right now and have just now decided that I wanted to transfer to GA Tech and study either Electrical Engineering. I have not taken the physics classes required and I have not even started to take Calculus yet, so it will be a while till I can transfer. I plan on transferring to GA Perimeter and doing the RETP program to transfer over. I have written out the classes that I need and it turns out that I will not be able to graduate until Fall 2015 or Spring 2016 and I graduated high school in 2010. I will also be paying out of pocket and loans once my hope is out. Is it worth staying in school that long to graduate with an engineering degree from tech or should I just stay with exercise science at GA State? Also, I realize that engineering is a hard program can anybody give me some advice and/or some knowledge from their Electrical engineering experience at GA Tech or engineering school and what they are doing today?</p>
<p>I don’t think that it is worth it. That will be too much to cover financially to make it worth it. Why don’t you try doing electrical engineering at your school?</p>
<p>What is your reasoning for wanting to do electrical engineering instead of exercise science? In the end, if you just don’t want to do PT anymore and don’t think that is the career for you, then I don’t think you have much of a choice here. No use staying in a major that you don’t actually want to do.</p>
<p>well it has always been between the two and ive started taking several science classes in chemistry and biology and im just not as into it as i should be. Ive also taken physics and I was really good at it, georgia state doesnt offer engineering :(</p>
<p>Maybe you could take an engineering course through cross -registration. [ARCHE</a> Home](<a href=“http://www.atlantahighered.org/Default.aspx]ARCHE”>http://www.atlantahighered.org/Default.aspx)<br>
You would have many, very rigorous classes for electrical engineering.</p>

<p>What was it about chemistry that you didn’t like? Aside from doing well in physics, did you actually enjoy the class?</p>
<p>Your situation is somewhat difficult since you’re already pretty deep in to your major… I would first make sure that exercise science is really not what you want to study. Do some research. Look at your job prospects after graduation… Do any of them sound appealing to you? Now imagine your situation after 5 years working in your field… Do you still think you would be happy? Are there any opportunities for career advancement?</p>
<p>If you really don’t think you will be satisified, then you don’t have many options, unless you don’t mind wasting time and money. If it were me, I would make the switch ASAP, and fully commit to engineering. Do keep in mind though that the increase in workload from exercise science to EE will be significant… you really need to make sure you’re fully committed. I can’t stress that enough.</p>
