Should I major in Environmental Engineering even though I don't LOVE math?

It seems to me that most engineering students are like fish in water when it comes to math

Not true for me (rising senior in chemical) and I’m sure it’s not true for others as well. Math geniuses may be prevalent just because they gravitate towards the subject they like most, but we mortals have a place here too.

However, I think that if I put in the work I could get better at math; I’ve never had amazing math grades, but I suspect that’s because I never put much effort towards understanding concepts that didn’t come naturally to me.

I’m decent at math and do well with hard work. Sounds like you think that might apply to you as well, if you put the effort in. I hope you’re taking some math this upcoming school year? Try your best at it. Make this your chance to prove to yourself that you can handle the prereqs for an engineering degree. If it goes well, you have your answer.
