Need some advice on education / career choics?

I had the same issue. My career aspirations were definitely in law enforcement. I heard many law enforcement agencies liked accountants and I took an accounting course in high school that I liked and said 'yeah sure, I'll do this,' since I also felt it would make a good backup plan.

While in college, the accounting courses got progressively more difficult, and math wasn't my strong suit either. I did an internship with a Big 4 accounting firm and hated it. I really doubted my choice but chose to stick with it. A change would have set me back too much or so I thought. I could have dealt with the time of retaking new courses, but paying for another two years of undergrad was just not feasible. So I finished and got the degree and went into a field not accounting related at all, but was able to get in because of the usefulness of an accounting degree (and saying in interviews that the accounting degree provided me with analytical skills but this is what I really want to do).

I definitely believe the same applies to you. Accounting and engineering are perhaps the two best majors for finding jobs upon graduation and even if you don't want a career in engineering, that degree will get you wherever you want to go. If you are just worried about passing the classes as they get harder...all you have to do is pass. Take easy electives and set one to pass/no pass so you can concentrate on passing those two hard courses every semester. If you can scrape a 3.2 or higher (and I don't doubt you can) you will get a job where you really learn engineering- not what they feed you in class. Oh and do an internship if you can, it's the doorway to a job offer. Good luck.
