Should I Switch to Architecture from Civil Engineering?
I'm in my 3rd year of Civil Engineering (4 year degree). The first year was general, and in second year I didn't make my top choice - mechanical engineering. Instead I was placed in Civil which I didn't mind at the time.
I high school I exceled most in Design and Visual Communication, Painting, and Design. Sometimes earning top of class in DVC, and always getting high grades. My Physics and calc grades were mediocre but I got through. The stakes aren't very high to get into engineering in my country (NZ). Mere passes in Physics and calc will get you into engineering. I never had much of a passion for maths - I was just good at it maybe because I'm indian lol. I had an interest in physics - but more of the very specific and deep concepts in physics than things like mechanics or electricity. My MBTI is ENFP and idk if that changes anything (apparently it is not a likely engineering personality type). Since starting engineering, I (and my parents) have said 'stick it out for another semester and see', but it gets pushed further and further and now I feel its too late to turn around. I completed an internship with a transport company and found the site visits and all interesting - but nothing gives me that 'this is for me' feeling that Design and architecture did. I always wish I chose architecture as I don't have much of a passion for maths anyway. Of course I find engineering maths interesting - but not enough to be stuck at a desk all day doing hand calcs. People keep saying that the pay will be worth it. Anyone in the same position or have advice?
