What is it really like to study and work in engineering?

I am a high school student and am doing an interview for a project that’s supposed to help me with my future pathway. I want to be an engineer and need someone with that expertise to answer a couple of simple questions. - What’s the most life-giving part of your career (or college/major)? - What is something you wish you would’ve done (or not done) in working toward your career (or college/major)? - What is something you wish someone would’ve told you about your career (or college/major) that you didn’t anticipate? - Does your career (or college/major) relate to math (or require certain math courses) in any way? Thank you! I am going to use the interview for the project and I would be very grateful for any answers *Note: Edited by Admin for clarity

Why did you choose Psychology? How was the process like?

I am a Junior at Baruch College, pursuing a BA in Psychology. I chose to major in this field because I love helping people and I'm passionate about supporting others who deal with mental health problems. However, I have many interests, having previously majored in CIS, being very strong at mathematics, and I absolutely love sports. I would like to hear from anyone who has dealt with uncertainty, how did you definitively determine that psychology is what you wanted to do, and what were your subsequent steps? If you never faced uncertainty when choosing psychology as your field of study, why do you believe this to be the case?

What kind of job should I have?

I really like writing stories (fictional) and am good at at it, but I'm also really good at math and chemistry. What job should I get once I'm older?
