You must do something you want to do for the rest of your life, if engineering is too hard, nothing wrong with business, you can be a CEO of a large company it is a good degree one of the most sought after here in Montreal Canada. My husband has a business degree and he is an accountant.

I would say to be strong in who you are! If you (like untold others) are not unduly talented at mathematics (!) so be it! That is nothing to be ashamed of, and business is a perfectly good line of study and career! Be strong in yourself and who you (who God made you to be) and don't pay any attention to anyone who should want to elevate their self by being condescending to you. Even parents can do this. It's a good thing and very strengthening for one to realize they do not have to live up to aNyone else's expectations! Make and live a happy life for yourself!!

My advice to you is to celebrate YOU and be the very best YOU that you can be!
Not all people are good at the same things, and I know you'll find your very special place in the scheme of things when the time is right.
Here are some of the questions and how I would answer them...
Question: "Peoples asks for My parents, What's you Son doing???
My Answer (if I were your parents): Our son is doing whatever it is that he's meant to be doing at this point in time. He hasn't figured out what he'll be doing for the rest of his life yet--but it really doesn't matter at this point. He's only 22 years old."
Question: can he graduated???
My Answer (if I were your parents): He either will or he won't. Either way, he's a very special young man and a beautiful gift from God.
Question: what's your thoughts about this fellow???
My Answer: As the famous poem says...He is a child of the universe. No less than the trees and the stars, he has the right to be here!!!
Question: what's your advice for me???
Answer: Listen to one of my favorite storytelling Christmas songs and take it to heart. It's about somebody who didn't quite fit in anywhere because he was different and how his friends would laugh at him, call him names, and not let him be friends with him--until the day came when his being different ended up playing a big part in making sure that kids wouldn't end up disappointed on Christmas morning.

Here are a few other videos that I think will cheer you up and send you the message to celebrate yourself right where you are right now...

This next video is sure to inspire you. It's the true story of a family-owned business that was really going well for many years until the main highway through town was re-routed.
The owner and his family not only had depended on local people to keep their place in business but, also, people traveling through their little community, as they not only had a restaurant but, also, a motel. While the locals still ate at the restaurant, they didn't stay at the motel.
With most of the restaurant business being limited to local people and motel business down to next-to-nothing, the family was losing money big time.
In short, they ended up not only going out of business but, also, going bankrupt.
This man was much older than 22 years old but not quite to the age where he could even get social security.
A few years later when he was old enough to get it, he ended up using his first social security check to get back into the food business again.
Here's the rest of the story...

Finally, here's all of that poem (set to music backing narration) that I mentioned earlier...

Just because you are not an engineer doesn't mean you have no value. A lot of people don't like Math and just aren't cut out to be engineers You are still young and you will find something you want to do with your life. As long as you are happy in your chosen field, you will be a success. Happiness in your job, is worth a lot more than how much money you make. The world needs people in all kinds of fields and you will find yours.

I thank God that you are willing to talk about how you feel here on myLot, because so many chose to suffer instead of talk about their situation. My friend you are still a very young person and you have the potential to reach as high and as far as you want in life. Okay so you don't like Math- neither do I. I actually suck at Math! That's why I didn't chose a career where I had to do a lot of Math- First I became a nurse, then now I am in med school and pursuing my music career. I know enough math so people cannot trick me but I hate the stuff. Follow your passion. What do you like to do? What are you good at? Drawing, painting, writing, helping other people- you have so much to offer to this world that is of value. Who told you that you just HAD to be an Engineer even if you didn't like it was being unfair to you. Try and find something that your good at doing, or at least something YOU like doing. Sometimes too people need to stop asking so much questions! Encourage yourself when others may not be encouraging you and use every failure in life as a learning experience. Do not panic. If you believe that prayer works, pray to Almighty God for direction and it will come.

Not being an engineer is not the end of the world. We surely can not hope that there is just engineer in this world. Business and commerce are good subjects to study and I actually encourage my children to pursue in these subjects. Don't be bother with what others are saying. The most important factor is that you know what you are doing.

What a craz question. Everyone has the right to live, unless they commit heinous acts taking many lives, and the only way to stop the bloodshed is by legal wxecution.

Do you want to be an engineer because that is your desire or is it the desire of someone else? If it's yours, perhaps you could hire a math teacher to tutor you. There are also computer programs that teach math subject. Most of all, you should not say, "I can't," because that gives you the idea that you are a failure.

The advice that I would give you depends on the reason why it bothers that you that you are not an engineer. Did you always dream about becoming an engineer? Or do you only wish to be an engineer because it would make your parents proud and happy and because other people would get a good impression of you?
If you want to be an engineer because it is your dream job you could take math classes or make get a private teacher, but if you want to be an engineer because other people consider it a better job I don't think that you should let those things influence your future. Don't feel ashamed that you are not an engineer. That is easy for me to say and I understand that that you want other people to get a good impression of you and that you want your parents to be proud of you, but we can't live our lives based on the things that other people think. If you are happy about your choice that is the most important thing.

Hello Tushavi, Who ever ask that doesn't care about you or your parents. they just want to know if your successful or not and if your not, they're gonna spread gossip that your not successful, i think that's the question that people usually ask but don't mind them. What ever it is that you want, go for it and search for it, don't let any one tell you that your not good enough because you are the ONLY ONE WHO CAN CONTROL YOUR DESTINY

From what happened in my life - I never could study what I wanted to. And despite everything going wrong, I ended my study in computers after doing a graduation in Arts (they allowed those days). Then it came to careers and I was never allowed to work as a Software professional because my teachers in computers thought that I could be a good teacher. I didnt like it as a career but then as days went I did realize that probably this is the field I was born to work in. I fell in love with teaching and have been a teacher since past 16+years.
Believe in what you do. Do whatever you do with the best of sincerity and results would be good. There will be many ups and downs - probably more difficult ones than what you face right now... like the questions - but always remember two things - the one who has given you life and keeps you alive will feed you and also lead you - for this - believe in yourself, believe in what you are doing is for good. And second, have patience and perseverance. Those who say and raise questions will continue to do so but when they will see you succeed in what you are doing, they will stop.
btw, commerce and business studies is a good field and there will always be need of professionals who are masters in this sphere. So chill and start to believe that things will be good soon. Keep doing best of your efforts.

is sounds that you have just been a bit unlucky but dont get discouraged just keep trying , i firmly believe that if you want to achieve success you have to work hard and keep trying. I am sure that your parents love you either way but keep trying and i am sure that you will be fine in the end.

Well i can understand the situation u are going through. But first of all i would like to say u that u should not be bothered about what people say about u. They are always there to say things and discourage u at all stages. U just need to seek the blessings, support and encouragement of your parents for they are the most important persons in your life whom u are going to keep happy and content. Just give a damn care to what people say and do not feel disheartened and try to set your own goals and run after your dreams and work harder.
What say?

As long as you are still alive, you are capable of changing and growing. Never say something can't or won't be done. Keep looking for ways to do it. You need to identify the areas in which you need to improve. You need to determine how you can go about gaining that development. And then you have to schedule and commit the time to work on those areas. Treat everything as an opportunity to learn and develop. Everyone you encounter has something that they can teach you. Codify your learning by writing down what you have learned.
