I remember my engineering days and how life got 10x easier once I dropped my engineering major.
A close friend of mine is currently a freshman and is majoring in Operations Research at a top 10 school. She is not sure whether she wants to go into finance or become a physician. As a result, she's trying to take premed classes and major in Operations Research simultaneously. The school she attends has excellent ties with Wall Street.
It's been a month of classes and she's already depressed. She's not really overachieving either. As a freshman, she's taking Physics and Gen. Chem at the same time along with 4 other difficult classes. That is apparently pretty standard for OR.
I'm honestly clueless as to what advice I can give her. Any Engineers/anyone who's tried something similar have any advice?
