Hi, I'm new to these forums so please forgive me if I am posting in the wrong section.
Do you think it's possible for someone with chronic health problems to work as an engineer? More specifically, someone who is a recent cancer survivor who deals with chronic fatigue, gets sick easily, etc?
I'm in my mid 20s and have been getting treated on and off for cancer for the past 4 years. I'm currently enrolled in an EE program (online) and I recently finished my first semester. I have an Associate of Arts degree but not very many of my past courses will transfer. Although I would like to finish the degree, I'm wondering now if it makes sense for me to do so.
Should I finish the degree, even if it's likely I won't be able to work as an engineer?
Should I switch over to a different STEM degree, like IT or something like that?
I suppose I could also not bother getting a degree but that doesn't sound like a wise idea.
Your feedback is very much appreciated, thank you.
