I don't know about American undergrad degree in engineering but I am damn sure their masters and PhD programs are top notch. Most of the innovations come from there. They pretty much the best brains from all parts of the world. I am doing engineering in Canada anybody knows what are the grades needed to do postgrad in US? Is it too expensive and what are some good universities?

I first wanted to be a Graphic Designer or do something in Art because I liked to draw and am good in it and well after I saw A LOT of people struggling on that I decided to not do that.

because you are a lazy idiot.

Well after looking into it and seeing A LOT of people struggling for that and not having a job available it kinda disheartened me.

because you NEVER had any heart to begin with.

I learned that sometimes what makes you happy isn't necessarily the right thing to do. Sure you might want to break that guys teeth over their but is it worth it...?.

DUMBEST ANALOGY EVER !!!! what does violence have to do with choosing work that makes you happy in the long run ???

Lots of losers who don't succeed always say the same shit, "its not about being happy its about having financial stability, and doing things that make you happy can't give you a good financial future"...because guys like you give up at the first sign of hardship..and that causes you to FAIL EVERY TIME (kinda like an afc approaching one woman and getting turned down)

Persistance is the key!! just stay with it...you don't have ANYTHING to loose!!! Just invest your time wisely.

its easy to say the right thing..but your actions and mentally suggest that YOU NEED TO FOLLOW YOUR OWN ADVICE AND STFU !

this goes for the rest of you lost sheep reading this..if you have a genuine passion for something (within reason) you can succeed. Once you start getting scared about what could happen if you fail and show you are a pussy that doesn't know how to handle life's opposition is when you run into problems...you either commit or you don't...If you commit, be prepared to work..thats the bottom line.

as for the OP, Fred Da Head, gave you all the information you will need, Pony up son, and be a man.

Hmm, I'm a senior in Chemical Engineering and have to say, You do NOT use a lot of chemistry. Yes, you do use it, but it's basic knowledge that you use (How to balance an equation, what is a mol, etc.)

You end up using more calculus and other knowledge in your work. Even the math gets "easier" because eventually you stop doing it by hand. You're going to have some crazy equations to deal with but you're working with math programs to do the work.

If this is what you want to do, then you have to fight your way through some of these classes knowing it'll probably be the last time you use a lot of the material in that much detail.
