Hello all!

I found this website recently and I decided to join and share with you my problem. So here it goes:

I'm in the 3rd year (of a total of 5) studying Informatics and Computation Engineering. I have passed at every subject till now and I have an average mark of 16 (of 20). The problem is that I don't know if this is the thing I want to do with my (working) life.

Sure I have good grades, but I don't deal very well, and by that struggle, with programming, which is the basis of the entire course. As much as I try to focus and learn, it seems like I never get it right.

And the people on the course are not so friendly. They are the typical 'geek'. They don't enjoy much human contact. As I struggle and ask my colleagues for help, they refuse to help, because in their vision, me not knowing is their gain.

And when there's group work in the subjects (most of the works are group works), I don't see myself bringing anything new to the group. So they just decide to do all the work alone and deliver them as a group.

The thoughts of changing course has always cross my mind, but lately is crossing more than ever. As I see all the school work "paralyzed" because I can't make them progress, I think of changing. But if I change, there will be 3 years and a lot of money spent on nothing.

So that's why I decided to post my problem here. To get some guidance from all of you.

Thanks for all the replys. And pardon my English... It's not my first language.

I'm glad you found us. (We're a fun group with lots of good, intelligent experts! This is my fifth Q&A site, so I know.)

Since you're so far along, I'm thinking tough it out and finish. You sound more like a people person. Could you use that to your advantage somehow as you hunt for jobs in the computer/electronics sector (or wherever you will look)? You could be the human contact with the public and thus still work with and help out the geeks who do the drudgery that they so love.

(Your English is lovely, by the way -- even better than many native speakers/writers.)

RMS - unfortunately, that money you invested is gone. But if you continue to pour more money into something you don't like, you'll waste even more money.

I changed majors 3 times in college before I settled on something that I liked... although I'm in the midst of exploring another career change.

The fact is that we change as people. Even if you found a major that you liked and found work in it, odds are you will change careers 1 time in your life.

For me, I learned that I liked stocks and investments and started taking classes in college around that. From there I learned that I enjoyed Finance so that's what I ended up majoring in. I think you have to evaluate what you think you do like, figure out if there is a way to do that sort of thing as a career, and take a class or two in that major to see if it is interesting to you.

You can always get schooling later as you find an area that especially interests you. I started as a teacher, ended up as a librarian who also got a degree in counseling. My thirty years of library work involved teaching, training, and helping people find satisfaction with what they do and also develop additional life skills. I meanwhile worked in all the library's departments -- tech services, reference, main desk, children's, but never plunged toilets.

You're not going to be stuck doing one thing the rest of your life just because you have a degree in it now. Be creative in how you job hunt and how you work at a job that you land.
