<p>Being a successful engineer is mostly about persistence. I’m not a natural math whiz, but managed to get degrees in CS and IE. In fact, I had a math block (C’s, D’s, and F’s in high school math classes) until I took an Applied Calculus class at the local junior college when I was in the Air Force. I got an A in that one because it was such a revelation that math could actually be used in the real world. That’s what let me know I could be successful in something like CS or Engineering.</p>
<p>I also preferred humanities and social science lectures to hard science and engineering lectures, but humanities and social sciences weren’t where the jobs were.</p>
<p>You might look into Industrial Design. That’s a mix of artistic creativity and engineering.</p>
