Hi all, new here to TSR and I'm looking for some advice.
I'm 18 years old, studying my second year in software engineering at Linnaeus University in Sweden. At current I work a part-time job as programmer, it's quite on and off depending on whether there are any projects available for me to work on.
Prior to beginning undergraduate studies I was an International Baccalaureate student, I did decently on most of my studies and although scores weren't outstanding, I still think I did fairly well.
But ever since I've started studying at university, I've found myself increasingly lacking motivation. I come from a fairly tech-oriented family (father worked in IT for 20+ years, mother also dipped in hardware tech for a few years) and grew up with computers, they're second nature to me and logically I thought that computer engineering/software would suit me perfectly. However, somehow the courses seem completely uninteresting to me and I have lost interest in it so much that it's work to just get myself out of bed to get to a lecture (have a 50 min commute to uni everyday).
Here is where I need advice, being in my second year now I think it'd be a waste to simply change direction, but I'm not sure either on whether another year of studying this would beneficial to me in any way. I could possibly start anew after finishing this program and study in another area, but would that take too long? How long do you guys intend to study for?
