Studying Engineering, but all I really want to do is go to culinary

Follow YOUR passion. Enjoying what you do makes life more enjoyable.

Why havent you asked about what to do before you started?

Btw my mum was teacher. And she hated children (me sort of included). Do you know why? Because her parents made her to do it. Her whole life is kinda mess, part of it because she did something she hates every fucking day. Dont end up like that.

On the other hand, you can do cooking without almost any formal education, all you need is to get some appretinship.

Talk to your study department. You can finish this semester, then stop the course for how long you want (and still have ability to finish it like 2 years later when you find out cooking is shit too).

Good luck?

Thanks, and that's true. I should be doing what makes life enjoyable to me.

I've talked to my parents, but they told me to wait a few more weeks then they'll see what they can do.

Ah, sorry that happened to you. I'll make sure I don't end up like that. I don't think I could handle 3 more years of this anyways.

While that's true, I'm aiming for culinary school because I want to get out of this small city and bake somewhere like New York. Also, if that doesn't work, my friends want to open a cafe after uni and I could help them.

Thanks, I'll talk to my department at the end of the week. Eh, I know for a lot of people the cooking industry is shitty, but I don't plan on being a line chef or anything. Baking and cake decorating are more my speed (yes, it's gay, but it's fun) so it won't be as bad, not including the weird hours and such.

Hated it too! But just a month ago I finally graduated.
Knowing that nobody will make me struggle with math anymore. I feel free.
I kinda just sit back and enjoy the studies these days, at my own pace.
Where I am from, there's prestige in being called an engineer.
Now I can do any other thing I like, with an analytical approach of course.
Chemical Engineer

That said..
Though I chose to study engineering.
I've always thought that one's guardians have more incite at assisting them identify their passion.
But stuff like that don't matter when you're poor. Food is the problem. Study what is guaranteed to bring food to the table. When they see every engineer or doctor has a house in his village and drives a big car... It looks attractive when one is primarily seeking a way out of poverty.

At the end it's more about loving what u do than doing what u love cause u've got not much of a choice in that position. I'm lucky I went to university.

cooking isn't a profession, its a hobby. Stick with engineering and learn to cook for fun.
