I'm in half way through my third year of my 4 and a half years long Mechatronics Engineering course... I have never failed a subject in my entire life and I don't think I will fail any one of my Engineering classes. What I fear is that I will not be a good Engineer because I now lack motivation maybe because in my country it's hard to get a Job if you don't have any connections. My colleagues still think I'm the best in the class but I think I'm just good at calculating things that aren't even useful to me...
is it normal I'm afraid I'm just wasting my time...?

    It might be more of a waste of time not finishing it.

      I agree...I. Am not going to bail its just that the idea of wasting my time on some useless dream is affecting me academically and socially....

    I'm afraid I'll fail at every thing I do but I don't. I'm not patronizing you here, I have a dire fear of failure that just makes me try harder than a lot of my peers and it shows so DO IT. JUST... JUST DO IT.

    Once you've got your degree, just come on over to the good old USA. They will gladly fire an American to make way for you. ICE will probably give you a house and a nice car too, if you tell them you were persecuted in your country.

      If that is possible I would gladly do it.... I love America but I don't think I have a way of getting there....

    I'm afraid you have a problem, I'm dealing with a similar situation; with Nursing, I don't know if I have a passion for it. I want to have an interest in the field of nursing, I'm praying God would help me out.

    Silicon Valley loves people like you. They will fire whatever Americans they need to give you a job. You will be competing with the best and brightest in the world. Apply for a visa online today.

        Take initiative and look into it. If you are anything less than highly motivated, Silicon Valley is not for you.
