College Options

[bojangles_8686]

Alright so I have been taking gen ed classes and now I am taking engineering classes but dont think I want to do engineering anymore. It is hard for me to keep up with all the formulas and conversions and equations because Im not much of a math guy. I was talking to a friend who is going to goto Art Institue of Washington for Graphic Desgn, and really got into it. I have always had a thing for drawing and editing pictures on the computer, but never thought of making a career out of it. Now heres the decision...

Do you think I should really take a look at this Graphic Design and stop trying for engineering? Also, this Art Institute costs around the same as the college I was planning on for engineering.

Any input would be appreciated..

im in mechanical engineering now, and i know how you feel. i already have all my math done so thats nice, but im still getting my ass kicked. my shop class is horrible, i mean its fun but its overload. we have 3 projects, a clock, a marker/chisel/center punch, and a group project. we have to make 4 copies of the group project, and have to find out where to buy the materials ourselves. we werent even allowed to go into the shop and use the machines for awhile. i still can only go in there during supervised hours since im not certified, which is hard to fit in with all the other classes. no help in there either, i guess they think its common knowledge how to operate a lathe or milling machine. i dont see how he expects to get all this done, all dimensions have to be within 2/1000 of an inch, kind of hard to do on your first try using machines youve never used before. sorry had to vent. so, i know how you feel. i mean i think it would be fun to design video games or something, i just dont think i could dedicate my career to that. o well, i just hope all this pain pays off in spades when im done.
