I love school but I've learned that I hate being in the workforce. How can I be sure to get a job I will enjoy after I graduate?

What are the most and least rewarding aspects of pursuing a career in which you are interested in but not great at.

I am going to pursue Engineering, however, I have never taken a physics or calculus class. It is the only career field that I enjoy and have participated in many engineering programs. #engineering #chicago #computer-science
