I left the engineering track after 2 years, although I still work in tech in a roundabout way. I am a GIS Analyst who also does various software testing and scripting tasks when required. We're a small shop that makes a GIS Tool for Windows.
I guess I left because I didn't find the work interesting. All of these pipes and valves and pressures and volumes didn't really hold my focus very much. I tried computer science as well, but although I liked it enough, I didn't love it enough to continue (Probably heresy to the HN crowd).
Even though I don't have a degree in engineering I'm very glad that I took the math and physics courses that I did. I can have meaningful conversations with Software Engineers, which I enjoy. In fact I worked as a math tutor for 2 years in college to help pay the bills so it's not that I hate math.
