<p>I’m another one who questions if engineering is the right choice for you. Most engineers live and breathe math and science–they’re the ones on the robotics team and joining the math league, maybe the computer club or A/V Club (or whatever it’s called these days). My husband and I are both engineers, and of our 4 kids, only one has the “engineering gene”–a cluster of personality traits that is typical. These are the kids who do extra credit for calculus class because it’s fun.</p>
<p>That said, I think you’re wise to consider community college to improve yourself, and hopefully, you’ll find out what you really love to do. In addition to steering you to college choices, your GC can give you things like an “interest test”, where you can see where your specific interests mesh with certain careers. You really need to find where your strengths and interests meet, and see what careers will allow both.</p>
