I think that's actually more ...:D :D :D :D :D <br /><br />I think that's actually more common than people think - people go to school for engineering as an undergraduate and then never work as an actual engineer. Probably because what an engineer actually is and does isn't well-communicated to middle and high school students.

But I realized pretty quickly that I wasn't *actually* that into science, and I was more into the arts. That said...I do sometimes wonder what it'd be like if I'd decided to become Dr. Danya! ;) <br /><br />It's always awesome to hear about your engineering degree Alyssa, because your passion for it totally shines through. I hope civil engineering works out well for you! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03345874849864173182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-87170805184181210032017-03-13T11:32:34.529-04:002017-03-13T11:32:34.529-04:00Great post!

We are allowed to change our minds and go for what we want! I first started my university career with the intentions of graduating with a Bach. of Education (Primary) and ended up changing completely to BSc - IT Management. I just wasn't enjoying what I was doing and IT Management was always an interest of mine as well and I'm so glad that I DID change at the end of the day. Life takes us on many different paths sometimes! <br /><br />I'll be excited to see more about your engineering life!Di @ Book Reviews by Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03021249735871126514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3634501776293792112.post-51045274530178516562017-03-13T00:30:43.356-04:002017-03-13T00:30:43.356-04:00I think it's awesome that you have such a grea...I think it's awesome that you have such a great list of what you can do, your possibilities seem endless.

I agree that its rare to see Engineering majors for book bloggers. In fact, I think you are the first one that I know of. And its one of the most challenging career too so you go girl.

My undergraduate degree is in Chemical Engineering. I loved science and math, I was good at science and math, and I always read that there was a demand for people in engineering, so, I thought there would be a job at the end of the four years. I was practical. Engineering school was hard. I watched all my sorority sisters going out all the time, while I was studying, and I was jealous. If I had known I would never work as an engineer, I would have picked a much easier major. <br />Sam @ <a href="http://weliveandbreathebooks.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">WLABB</a>Samantha@WLABBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589486165371852904noreply@blogger.com
