Curl up and die while crying in the dark cutting myself listen to emo
Or suck it up and shovel through the preqs. And hope that I don't end up sucking at being an engineer.
Or go back to fine arts/graphic design.  /wrists

did you suck at being a fine/arts graphic design person?
cause if so, i'd go with option two.
what kind of engineering are you looking at?

I didn't suck, but I also didn't want to end up saddled with a BA that could get a job flipping burgers or...ya. I'm ok at design work, I just don't have that spark that seems to compel artists to create art. Some of my art classes and most of my graphics design classes were taken for the technical skills than the need to create art.
Examples of my work. http://lord-cudgel.deviantart.com/ Ignore all the photography. Never took a class on it in my life and I just mostly fucking around.

mechanical, industrial, manufacturing type engineering. I want to make STUFF.    I am at heart a frustrated blacksmith/metal-worker.

Then do it for love.

THIS!!!

          the idea that education ought to be for a career distracts from the point (comparative religions/ poetry & philosophy major here:HA) - there's just always more to learn.

SHIT

          just start making stuff, after a few years you can start teaching other folks who want to know how it's done.

YES.

What am I going to do with a history degree? Other than teach? Well, hopefully get my Masters and work in a museum...if not, well, I still have the paper to back up my nerdiness. :D

I slacked of my senior year by taking metal shop, wood shop and TAing for the shop teacher. Some schools still have dangerous fun with fire and lightning and power tools. :fap:
