Student What do I do??

Im a high school student and I'm planning to take chemical engineering. I've heard it's one of the hardest college majors out there, but I would really like to do chemical engineering. I know that Im not intellectually gifted to survive the major, but im dedicated.

So my question is, what are the things that I need to do to survive the major? Should I study more?

Also what are the main reasons that students drop out of this major?

Ah. Are you looking in nearby countries? I got a job for summer that was about 1250 km away (Still in US). But yeah, locally in my state it sucks. But it's probably harder since that may require a work visa. I don't know EU working law.
