I went to university and did engineering, cause I didn't know what else to do and I was always good with numbers. I hate the idea of university lectures, I'm bored in class and for the most part, uninterested. We'll see how I feel after this thesis goes, I got 2 more semesters.

I did the same thing (going into ENGG because I was good at it), but after a year I just couldn't handle it anymore. It wasn't that the classes were hard, it was more that I couldn't envision myself ever enjoying a career in ENGG.
I took a year off to concentrate on playing hockey (figured that would be my last shot) got badly injured, moved to Vancouver and started working with people that had a KNES degree. Found that I really enjoyed doing that stuff, and suddenly I find myself enjoying schools.
My main problem with ENGG in Calgary was that at least half my teachers were there for a research grant and really didn't speak English or explain what the hell they were doing. Suddenly a gamma would appear in the formula and we had no idea what was going on.
