Talked to a friend's daughter the other day. She's in her first year at teacher's college.
I about had to gnaw my arm off to get away from her as she complained how unfairly teachers are paid and how she'll have to move to a state where abortions are legal.
Wow!
Engineering pays better. Of course there are calculus courses to pass, and physics, chemistry, statics/dynamics, mechanics of materials, electromagnetics, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, circuits and signals, digital systems ...
Do well enough in those and you'll have a chance at being admitted to the upper division.
