If I'd dropped engineering when I really seriously thought about it, I'd still be in school right now, and probably so deep in debt that I'd be eating Kraft Dinner daily (just like what happened when I was still in school). I can't say for sure that the "stick it out" solution is for you, of course, because your situation isn't mine, but as Dave said, if you're not failing, what can it hurt?

> While I can understand why Monkeyman and Dave said what they said, I tend to be on the other end. I switched majors twice in college. I started off in Pharmacy, something I wanted to do all my life, or so I thought. But it SUCKED. It was so not what I thought it would be. So, after a year I switched to accounting. Bad move. After a half a year I switched again to Systems Analysis. It wasn't easy to switch, but needed to. And it has since paid off.

Ok.. after reading everything everyone else has said, I suppose they are right. Sticking it out is probably your best bet, especially since you say you love it and you're so close to finishing. We all get the I'm-not-sure-if-I'm-doing-what's-right jitters sometimes, most often in college. It took me a good 6 months of soul searching to figure out that I should change majors and with as far as you've gone you don't have that kind of time to waste.
