college not right for...... me plz help!, I don't know what to do anymore! Options

[soulshadow]

Ok guys please shine some advice on this one.

I've been in college at the University of Arkansas for 2 years now (this is my beginning 3rd year there) and I really don't know what to do anymore regarding my career and life. Ever since my car broke down and I swapped in the silvertop I felt some type of passion for cars that I can't really seem to explain. School just doesn't seem to be intresting anymore and none of the majors offered here don't intrest me at all. I just don't have the dedication towards college anymore!

Therefore I was thinking that I might drop out of college and go to a tech. school in automotive and search for that passion that longs the heart of mine.

What do you guys think? Should I presume my schooling even tho I am suffering deep inside, or should I get out and go towards automotive, a hidden passion that I have?

I have one dream and that is that someday I would build robots for a living and thats why I went towards Electrical Engineering, but this is only a dream. If it came real it wouldn't be a dream at all!

Please post any solutions that you have or any comments! Thanks 6G guys!

i also am a ME. I would suggest sticking with it... any engineering degree (Electrical and Mechanical especially) are WONDERFUL places to start if you want to get into automotive stuff. if you were to take a few courses after finishing your bachelors in EE you could quickly turn all that EE knowledge into useful knowledge on automotive wiring, and controls, a very very big part of being able to properly swap and mess with cars, basically the track you are on IS a track to get you to where you want to be, you just have to know exactly what you want to do, and dont let the school steer you far off course. the best thing to do is get your bachelors as an EE and look for a program that specifically fits what you want to do as a graduate degree, or do the tech stuff after achieving your bachleors... trust me, you will be so far ahead of the game with that type of education you can do exactly what you are looking to do.

the program i really want to get into is the motorsport vehicle dynamics program at Kingston University in London England. Its a dream, but i figure ill do everything i possibly can and atleast apply, its worth the shot.
