Help me Decide Between Engineering or Business

<p>I’ve already completed freshman year as an engineer and ended up getting a C in physics aswell as a C in multivariate calculus. Before going into sophmore year i’ve been debating on whether or not I should switch to business.</p>

<p>Here’s the thing, I’ve been spending 15 hours a week making videos on Youtube, earning 80k a year. I took a gap year to work on my channel. Now that i’m coming back, I will proceed to try to balance school work with youtube. Seeing as how I struggled freshman year (also spending 10 hrs a week on YT), i’ve been thinking that maybe I should switch to an easier major such as business so I won’t be so overwhelmed with YT and schoolwork.</p>

<p>Another thing to consider is that I could potentially lose my YT audience if my grades start to falter and I start slacking on the videos to make up for it. YT has been a big part of my life, I love doing it and it makes more money than being an engineer. As a business major, i’ll probably have more time to devote to YT, thus allowing me to keep my audience all the way till I graduate and potentially do YT for even more years to come. </p>

<p>As far as what interest me. I’m interested in money and the stock market. But i’ve also been interested in designing stuff. So it’s hard for me to say what interests me more. I would say i’m better at memorizing stuff than solving math problems. For most of my classes ive been memorizing the methods to solve problems. </p>

<p>Anyways, what do you guys think I should do?</p>

<p>They don’t call engineering Pre-Business for no reason at all. :)) </p>

<p>I think you should drop out. College isn’t necessary. 80k a year is no joke and it could potentially become something bigger if your focus your life into it. Theres always time for college later, once you’re wiser. </p>

<p>If you are just memorizing the methods to solve problems then engineering isn’t for you. Becoming an engineering is understanding WHY you do things. With the understanding of why things are done that way, you can solve new problems, which is what real engineering is all about.</p>

<p>You don’t sound very committed to engineering, so I would switch out of it. Can you study business part-time, while focusing on your YouTube channel?</p>
