<p>I'm currently a senior in high school attending West Virginia University next fall. I decided that I wanted to major in Civil Engineering, but now I'm nervous on my choice and I'm trying to figure out if it's really for me. As of right now, I have about a 3.24 GPA. I take Physics and Pre-Calc, which are the normal level classes for a senior at my school, and for the most part get As in both classes. I've never taken any honors or AP courses, which is one reason why I think civil engineering would be very hard for me. I enjoy doing math and physics, but I'm afraid the math and science classes in college will get very tough and I won't be able to handle it. I know if I change my mind I can switch my major to something else, but I definitely want to major in something involving at least math, as I enjoy it and I'm pretty good at it. So, since I'm not in any honors or AP classes and I don't have an outstanding GPA, would civil engineering be really tough for me? Also, does anybody know of any other good majors involving math I could research? I've been looking at accounting a little bit, as I like money and it involves a lot of math. Any advice for me would be much appreciated. </p>
<p>Accounting is a very boring major and it does not involve a lot of Math, in most cases, all you have to do is take some BS Business Calculus course and Statistics.</p>
<p>You should go for Civil. Any Engineering major is not going to be easy but with discipline and will to succeed, everything is possible. You won’t know until you give it a try.</p>
<p>Accounting does involved math but it is nothing “high level” compared to the sort of math engineers deal with. If you like working with finances and math, actuarial work might be something you ought to consider. It’s good money I hear. As their work deals with the financial impact of risk and uncertainty, I’m sure a lot of statistics is involved.</p>
