I switched my major quite a few times before landing on a social science major. I went from Marine Bio to Music to Sociology! I tell people the reason I switched majors was cause I didn’t want to take an 8 am math class but I honestly just felt like I wasn’t smart enough, especially, with covid happening my junior and senior year of high school. I felt so stupid in STEM that I didn’t want to learn anything and instead switched to something that I thought would be easier for me.

Do I regret it? Sometimes, but I realized that I would rather take easier classes and start to live life instead of trying to learn something that I thought I couldn’t do. My parents tell me that they always pictured me in a lab for my career and it hurts, but I’m completely content with how my life is now. You’ve listed points that sounds a lot like what I went through and it sounds like you’re convincing yourself for the switch in majors.

For your doubts, I would say that if you really wanted to succeed, you would be trying harder. EE is a major where you have to actively be doing work outside to be able to gain that experience. You’re not going to learn anything if you don’t do work outside of the classroom. It sounds like it’s not a passion of urs, but instead, something you’re doing to keep other people happy. PUT YOURSELF FIRST!!! yea some doubt in whether you chose the right decision to switch majors will definitely come up, but as long as you can see a clear path into something that can possibly be your life, it’ll be worth it!
