Engineering is the only semblance of hope i have of leaving the third world, and its ruining my love for the field.

I have just come to fully realise how utterly and incredibly fucked i am. I dont know what to do, and i feel so, so hopeless. I love engineering,...

Engineering majors need like 4 years of pure humanities classes to fix what's wrong in their mind. This whole thread is so cruel to op.

    Start playing a very niche sport and get competitive. Racket ball, pole vaulting, sailing, golf, fencing, squash, crew, waterpolo, and lacrosse. Even unofficial sports can help you at some schools pickle ball, rugby, etc. Unfortunately many are very expensive but you may be able to get into the US on a D2 scholarship.

    Because the only way a Black student can succeed is by playing sports?

      I'm not shocked that someone posting on an engineering subreddit knows nothing about sports, but lmao if you think pole vaulting or golf aren't extremely competitive.
