I am currently going to UTD (University of Texas as Dallas) majoring in Electrical Engineering. I just finished my Sophomore year yesterday. I have always had a passion for engineering and Electronics, but after this semester i am reconsidering. The more that I think about it, engineering seems a little "dirty" to me. I love mathematics because they are so pure and exact, whereas applied physics and engineering are at best estimates. Whenever anything is applied to the real world there has to be what is essentially a decimal approximation, and this really bugs me. It seems like a minor complaint but if a lifetime of engineering is ahead of me I am not sure that I am going to enjoy it. So here is what I am undecided about. I am considering changing my major to Mathematics. The only problem here is that there is little or no jobs outside of teaching that I know of. So what would you do? Should I follow my passion of math, or the practicality of EE? I do enjoy electronics quite a bit, I am just not sure that I would enjoy working with tables and estimates all day.
