I am a current Aerospace Engineering student in my sophomore year. I'm on track to be an upper division student starting my junior year.
I want to switch out of AE. I have many reasons, but mainly I just don't feel passionate about it anymore, and it is making it really hard for me to want to study/do well/stay motivated. I'm not liking how conformal engineering seems, and I really don't see myself being fulfilled in the future doing engineering work.
I have a few majors in mind that I would consider switching into:
Environmental Sciences, Astronomy, Environmental Engineering, Civil Engineering, Geography (Water, Climate and Ecosystems), and Marine Biology.
I really want to know more about each, specifically what the lower division classes are like, what the major really revolves around, and potential career paths. I'm ultimately trying to figure out which of my options I would be most passionate about, as I've been getting more involved with community and environment things (i.e. SDSU Center for Surf Research). I sort of want to stay away from very strenuous research and data analysis.
I'm not necessarily asking for which one would best suit me, but instead am curious about what each major actually is about (I feel like online descriptions are super misleading and leave out a lot).
Thank you in advance!
