That might be the best course of action. Many people get degrees in areas they either don't like or don't have an aptitude for. Wanting something very badly is a good motivator, but lacking the underlying skills or aptitude can derail desires very quickly.I already joined for the first year. I will come back after an year and I will answer honestly if this is the career I want to pursue.
That is not relevant. It was an analogy to describe a binary choice. You either persevere, adapt, and overcome the obstacles, or you quit and do something else. You know yourself better than we do, so who are we to give you advice. Stand on your own two feet and make a decision -- we can't do it for you and we damn sure can't give you permission to become 2/3 of an engineer.Problem is I do not live in the USA.
I also think this is a good idea.I already joined for the first year. I will come back after an year and I will answer honestly if this is the career I want to pursue.
The question is, will you do it well? There are things like engineering intuition you can't learn directly from a book. Life is too short to spend 100% on something you hate.You can learn and do anything you want as long as you commit 100% to it man. Don't let yourself or others limit you.
If you hate it, you won't be driven and you won't commit. When I said if you want to, that is what I was implicitly assuming. That is, he actually loves the thing he is trying to become good at.The question is, will you do it well? There are things like engineering intuition you can't learn directly from a book.

No, Einstein didn't get kicked out of the gymnasium for being slow.Didn’t Einstein get kicked out of the gymnasium for being slow? Who cares. Do what you like. It’s taken me 20 years to come back to electronics cause I love it. All my free time is spent learning and researching. Finally dusting off my calculus skills which I haven’t needed in life otherwise... Not because I will actually derive equations but because it’s offers insights into quantifying and visualizing simple everyday things we need to be able to account for... mixing two frequencies is simple make two tones, but the math is complex.
One thing that becomes apparent when looking at Einstein’s early schooling was both his distaste for rote memorization and attending classes. The physics professor that flunked him, did so, in no small part, because Einstein often skipped class. As he claims, “I played hooky a lot and studied the masters of theoretical physics with a holy zeal at home.”
Unfounded claptrap.This is why history is so interesting... an early book states that he was expelled and that he was slow to learn to read, and now things are getting redacted perhaps because it's makes them look bad.
All right,but let me explain you that my college classmates are in the same situation like I was in the first year. Now,normally they should have choosed a project for trade people when they were in highschool like I did and because they didn't had that chance they choosed a college like myself without being skilled.That might be the best course of action.

What I am hearing is basically a surrender of your personal autonomy to everyone else. It is like saying I can't succeed unless I find a kind benefactor to help me. That is just crap. The people who want to succeed will find a way to find what they need and get what they want. Those who expect a handout will be waiting for hell to freeze over. The path may be long and arduous, but it starts with the first step, The only good thing about it is that you get to choose the path and the steps. Why would you want it any other way?All right,but let me explain you that my college classmates are in the same situation like I was in the first year.

I am also unpleased with this situation because if you want to learn a trade you will have to gain a qualification from the employment agency or any training company and you get no training or apprenticeship. The result would be a total disaster because that would lead to depression which leads to self guilt and that ultimately leads to suicide.
The only solution would be if someone would be really nice to help you and take you under their wing to get a short to middle appreticeship.
Now about the college that I picked. I have learnt that if I do not get a great cadetship I will become a useless junkie.
The courses and the labs(laboratories) are interesting but unfortunately they represent nothing without a proper training.
It's like you get the engineering degree but if you don't have any proper training(not just the lab) you will become a alchoolic,depressed person,suicidal person.
