<p>what kind of person would succeed and enjoy engineering? as much as i try to research, i can't decide if this is something that would interest me.</p>
<p>is it just four years of calculus, diagrams and sketching, ugly numbers and designs?</p>
<p>It depends on what kind of engineer you want to be, but here are the basics:</p>
<ol>
<li>You need to like solving problems.</li>
<li>You need to approach problems logically.</li>
<li>Be prepared for 60-80 hour weeks during deadlines.</li>
<li>Sadly, the money isnt as good as it used to be, especially in computer engineering/programming. So money cant be your main motivation.</li>
</ol>
<p>Engineering, in my eyes, is the application of mathematics and science to solve real world problems.</p>
<p>It is more than just a lot of math and physics--it is a special training that allows you to approach a problem and logically solve it.</p>
<p>If you enjoy problem solving, math, physics, science, took apart things or just wondered how things work, engineering might be for you.</p>
<p>Try it out in college and if you don't like it, switch to something else.</p>
