<p>I am not a slacker and I’ve studied so hard for all my tests and engineering is just so difficult for me to grasp. I have an A in my Calculus 2 class and my general education classes, but I just don’t know if I can make it through engineering. I think I failed my ENES102 mechanics class. Should I just drop out of engineering and change to a new major before it gets even harder?
What other decent majors could i consider switching to?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Looked at a few of your other posts and it is clear, you don’t love engineering. You are strong in Math though so I just looked through UMD majors and suggest you consider Math/Statistics. With a Math degree you can become an Actuary which is a well paid stable job. This is from UMD math page</p>

<p>This is from the Actuary page:</p>
<p>The general advice to students is that without at least a strong B in the calculus courses Math 140-141-240-241, Actuarial Science is probably not as desirable a career as advertised because so much of the potential for advancement depends upon competitive examinations which are initially VERY quantitative. However, if you have strong interests in business and other practical applications of mathematics, you should at least consider continuing with the same collection of: calculus, Probability/Statistics, computing, numerical analysis and Operations Research courses, with a view toward majoring in a field such as Operations Research or Statistics.
