Hello guys,
Long story short i am a senior mechanical engineering student (graduating next year). But i do not like my major, at first i did not matter to me what i choose or what i study. i did not know what i like and mechanical engineering seemed a good option to me in terms of good job opportunities, etc..
Now i found that i really do not like what i am doing,i could not attend my lectures this semester but i managed to pass the midterms and the finals.
the next year will be my last year and i should a BSc in mechanical engineering from my university in Egypt and another BSc from london south bank university in the UK (as my university has a partnership with this university).
Although my GPA is quite good 3.5 right now but i hate what i am doing. i can not see any motivations for all these efforts, For example the average salary for mechanical engineers in my country is only 5000$ / year.
I like technologies and apps. i watch every single review of PCs and smart phones. I wish i could work for a company like Facebook, google or similar companies in the tech niche. I like the idea of e-commerce ,selling things, stock market. i love the idea when a company make a software and sell it.
What should i do ?
-should i continue in what i am doing as many people does not like what they are doing any way ?
- should i learn programming ? and is programming useful for mechanical engineers ( i mean language like C++, php, paython, html)? should i continue in what i am doing as many people does not like what they are doing any way ?
-is there a way to combine what i love with what i studied ?
- I know my character and i know that i am the type of person who would love to work as a freelancer or like how programmers work in office or from home but unfortunately it is to late for me. can anyone help because i am really lost and depressed.
