Hello! I am a high school senior who was accepted to the University of Michigan College of Engineering with a $10,000 per year scholarship. I won this when I attended their College of Engineering SCEEP program over the summer. The problem is…I don’t want to do Engineering. In fact I consider myself a more social sciences person than a math/science sort of person, but THAT doesn’t get you a job. So now I have this opportunity to do engineering at U or M, with a nice scholarship, and land a nice job right after college. Should I do it?
First of all, don’t do something you don’t enjoy. Ideally, work shouldn’t feel like work. Second of all, there are plenty of WONDERFUL jobs in the social sciences in many different fields.
It may sound weird, but you can do double major. I know may music/engineering double major students.
Can you give me some examples of social science jobs?
