i accidentally had this revelation on the bus ride up that i shouldn't be wasting my college education on engineering if it does not bring me any joy whatsoever. if it is something i definitely do NOT want to do with my life

heh sounds like me...but heh I am at OCC. I threw away this whole semester though. Failing every class [but for some reason it still counts towards grad.]. At least I still grad. then I just move onto the next thing I want to do...heh. I really would say do what you want to do...but $150,000 makes that choice a lot harder.

[read my most recent post, uhh, well after i write it, i kinda was shocked last night].

I had a similar revelation today. I don't think I can go to grad school (at least right now) because I don't get any joy out of physics anymore. In 8th grade (look in the 2000-2001 St. Joe's yearbook) I said I wanted to be an author, and I still do. I finished writing a novel right before I graduated, and I still haven't done anything with it because schoolwork has gotten in the way.
The good news: Of course, very few writers have an engineering education (or know anything technical at all), so I think that would be a huge advantage. I don't think it's a waste of $150k to learn things that other aspiring writers don't know!
