So I'm one of those fake-smart people. I had tiger parents who just pushed me down the study track so I pretty much had to delude myself into thinking "oh yeah I could totally do this , im just a little lazy"

but in hindsight I should have known that barely passing AP physics (like a 55%) or a 63% in chemistry shoulda been my first clue that I was not cut out for this path / didn't have the natural chops.

But I'm going back for my degree, I would LOVE a science job of some kind , I have no desire to make new discoveries or delusional enough to think I have anything to contribute - I just want to utilize the existing tools of the craft and perhaps engineer my own little contraptions and experiments.

But I remember this experience and I'm even WORSE at math/physics/chem now cause its been so long , my problem solving is what like 0%?

What I know I have for sure:
> the ability to write and write well (have won awards in the past, high views, high positive feedback etc)
> very strong memory (I crushed Bio as we all did lol)


Should I give up the science dream and stay in my lane, not waste any time on a dead end? Are there softer sciences in demand that could still give me this vibe or nah?

What about the natural sciences? Like ecology, environmental science. Less math.

You're going BACK for a degree in 2025. Get something that will nearly GUARANTEE you have a job on graduating. Anything else is pointless. You dont have time and resources to waste
