I just finished bombing my second calc 2 midterm despite putting 10-15 hours of studying in a week. This is my second time taking the class and my advisor has already told me I should think of a different career goal. I'm in bio engineering right now, but I don't think my mind is apt for it anymore.
I love philosophy and literature, and am now considering taking one of these up as a major. Has anyone here done this, and what did you think? I am mainly worried about job prospects

how many job prospects are you going to have after failing out of your stem degree?
Why? Do a degree that will get you a job you might enjoy. College is 3-5 years. Working life is next 40.
Autodidactism
I'm doing phil, and i like it - though philosophy is fairly difficult, and I'd expect that if you failed calc 2 you might also have trouble in phil. I'm a former math major and find they can be somewhat similar.
I suppose it depends on what type of philosophy you were interested in - do you like history of philosophy, metaphysics, ethics, etc.?

What jobs can that land me? You realize the point of university is not to learn, but to get a degree? Half the classes they make you take are worthless. A degree just shows you can show up to classes and handle high amounts of stress.
If you're worried about getting a job, do a major in a foreign language (e.g. Mandarin or German). You'll spend lots of time reading literature during your degree, and can easily get a job in communications/HR/marketing afterwards.
I understand the concepts in calc 2, the tests are just designed to screw you and I already have bad anxiety. The average on the last exam was a 66 and I got a 55.
I mainly enjoy metaphysics
Yeah i really don't give a flying fuck about my courses any more. I just want to pass them so I can move on.
Luckily i don't need to actually finish my degree as long as i get to do my thesis im fine.

What are you thinking of doing with your degree? Law/medical school?
