I don't accept the premise of your question. From your previous posts it seems like you're a freshman, so I'm guessing that your first semester didn't go well. There are lots and lots of people at this school who didn't do well their first semester and went on to do awesome things. One semester is not a measure of who you are as a person, and it's not a great predictor of future performance. What I'm going to say next might strike you as a bit harsh, but I feel I should be honest with you. Talent is relative, and I doubt that you're any more talented at english than you are at engineering. The difference between english and engineering is that the median grade in certain engineering classes might be a C, and the median grade in an english one might be an A. Just because engineering courses are graded more harshly doesn't mean you're better at one than the other. Granted, I don't know you, you might have won writing awards in high school or something like that. But just because the feedback you get in english is "better" in absolute terms doesn't mean you're more talented at that. It is unquestionably the truth that being an engineer at Tech is less enjoyable than being an LMC major here. However, what you're not taking into account is that the existence of an engineer once you graduate is far more comfortable than that of an LMC major. Getting paid $70,000 a year to design cool stuff is a good life. Getting paid half that as a freelance writer is not. If you want to be an LMC major, you're probably not any worse of doing it a Tech than anywhere else. Being in a large metropolitan area gives you a lot more opportunities career wise than going to U(sic)GA might.
