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?
