Not accusing anyone here of quitting because of lack of backbone, but a giant proportion of the engineering students I knew that quit, did it because they couldn't hack the work. They were very unashamed to say so. I was just too damned hard-headed to quit. I hates feelin like a quitter.
I wish I had figured out what I liked earlier, I surely would have changed majors. I am thinking about going back to school. Imagine, if you will, a 40 something med student.

It seems like 80% of the Engineering majors I know have either switched or dropped out too. I think a lot of people get into it without realizing that it actually is a challenge. Same thing happens with my program (photo) when I was taking lower level classes there'd be 40 people the first couple weeks and it would slowly dwindle down to about 10 when people realized there's work involved.
College is more like real life in that they won't give you something unless you're willing to work for it but at the same time no one is really out to get your grade or job in the same way people will be in the real world.
