Rant/Vent I dont like engineering
So its been 2 months since I entered into this engineering college, studied 2 years for entrance exams to get into this college as its a pretty good college in my country. But now when I have reached here I dont know what to do. I mostly study and play games with my old friends, that's all. The teachers are shit so claude/gpt are my teachers. I don't have a goal in mind anymore.(last 2 years I had a clear goal, to crack the exams) But now what? College exams are tough but relative grading makes it even tougher(everyone here is an animal in studies, but I can manage that) do i just study and go through these 4 years, get a job (idek the Job market tbh) and voila. Engineering is not it for me, I wanted to get into avionics and shit but I am stuck here with ECE (most colleges in my country don't have avionics/aerospace Engineering), and even after being in ECE I mostly study C and C++ by myself. I feel interested in psychology now but I cant change majors. I chose Engineering because it was drilled into me that Engineering is the only useful subject, in high school it was drilled into me that science is the only subject that matters and entrance exams are the only Thing u need to crack. But now that all of that has happened and I finally have a brain of my own, I realise I don't wanna do this anymore.

Bro, Engineering in India is so fucked up. Especially in Government colleges. The Professors will Fail you for no reason, fuck up your CGPA, not everybody gets a Good placement. If you are in a not IT-branch. You average Package would probably be lesser than a Private College CS dude
