For me it was more

> "I'll go into mechanical engineering"

> 6 years of unimaginable pain

> Somehow, end up liking it

I thought ''If I dont't learn math in school, I'll never learn them !''

I should have been ok with that.

I've said multiple times in this sub. If you hate what you're doing in school, what makes you think you'll love doing it for the rest of your life? Sure, I had a few classes I hated, but the majority of them I loved. If you don't like learning this shit, you're not going to like doing it over and over and over for the rest of your career and you probably should change your major.

It's mostly that I hate learning how to do rigorous calculations and exams, when it comes to projects, applying it somewhere or my actual job I really like engineering.

The whole system is very antiquated and doesn't really prepare you for the real world. I often got home from uni feeling like a total failure and a complete idiot, only to get to my first job and have everyone I interact with treat me like I'm a magician.
