My boyfriend is majoring in computer electronics engineering, but he hates the progam, what can I do to help? |
I am very concerned about my boyfriend. He has a scholarship that is only applicable to engineering. He is in computer electronics engineering right now and hates it. He can't see himself doing this the rest of his life and he just wants to make a lot of money. He does have interests in teaching latin, art, and photography but none of those things fit his interest in pay. He plans to work at a job he hates for a while and then make money so he can do something he loves later in his life. He has become very down about his classes and I don't know what to say to help him or make him feel better. What can I say to him to help other than "Do something you want to do"? Tell him to find a way to combine his interests. Maybe he can work on creating his own computer engineering company. When he makes enough money, he can move to Italy and enjoy the art and architecture while his employees make money for him. So he thinks he'll just continue in a degree program he hates? Then he'll unenthusiastically graduate and find an employer desperate enough to hire him over all the enthusiastic engineering applicants to do a job he'll hate so he can make big bucks? Yeah right. Employers are falling all over themselves to hire the person who will dread coming into work in the morning and then will be miserable and will suck the life out of everyone else in the firm. They pay extra for people like that. Then he'll marry you and you'll buy a house and have kids and need a second car and the money for all this and gee, he doesn't dare take a risk and change jobs now because you quit working to raise the kids and he has a family to support and who cares about being happy and fulfilled by your job anyway? Then the midlife crisis comes along and he dumps you and walks away from all of this to finally seek the life he wants and the job he loves? Oh boy! Sounds like a great life. If making money is all he wants, tell him to drop out of school and become a car salesman. If he isn't brave enough to face his own reality now and be honest with himself about what is important in his life, and he's willing to compromise his happiness for who knows how long--there isn't much you can do to make him feel better. Tell him to seek some career counseling. You only live once. |
