Is Engineering the right choice for a "right brained" person? Ft: A Ridiculous Amt of Questions

[Seirsly]

<br>

<p>How would a person who has to work a little harder in math do in engineering?</p>

<br>

<p>Just fine as long as he/ she works harder in math. </p>

<br>

<p>If I got into this field, how would I be treated as a girl? </p>

<br>

<p>I’m a girl studying civil engineering in a civil eng school that is 22% women. Don’t try to use your gender as an excuse or a special honor and you’ll do fine. </p>

<br>

<p>, especially one who might have to look to her classmates often for help(Would I be scorned and trambled over in this field)?</p>

<br>

<p>Define “often.” As a college student, you should become more independent and try to find answers on your own or use the school’s many resources (office hours, TAs, tutors). It might be my competitive-ness, but most students wouldn’t enjoy holding your hand through homework assignments. I do study with a small group of friends, but people who can never seem to find answers by themselves are a bit of a dead weight…</p>

<br>

<p>Is there a big chance I’ll get shoved in a stuffy office where I’ll slowly slip into a sea of depression and self-loathing?</p>

<br>

<p>That’s a bit… dramatic. If you don’t like office work, find a major with field positions. Most design (imo,the creative bits) occur in the office. </p>

<br>

<p>To those who are engineers, are women in your field often harassed or ostracized?(I’m not as concerned about this, and trust me, I’m used to being a minority but just out of curiosity).</p>

<br>

<p>I’m a co-op, but no. We’re equals. </p>

<br>

<p>Do you have time for relationships/a social life? </p>

<br>

<p>Yes, I have an electrical engineering boyfriend. A lot of civil engineers enjoy drinking it seems. A lot of my coworkers are married with kids. </p>
