I'm only year 9 and I'm constantly thinking about my future. I've been told numerous times to just focus on my studies and worry about my future later..
I want to have an idea on what I want to do in university, I've always leaned towards engineering for some reason. Prestige and money are probably some of the biggest contributing factors but I enjoy physics out of all sciences and I also enjoy maths to some extent, although I'm only doing year 9/10 work this is how I feel.
I think that if you're only in year 9 and already starting to feel inclined towards engineering, then definitely consider it. That being said, just because you enjoy physics doesn't mean you should do engineering because it involves a lot more than just that.
I keep researching what it takes to be an engineer but I don't think I'm good enough. My math teachers knows me the most and she always tells me I lack confidence, now I'm starting to agree.. Now, when I start to think about my future I feel like I go in to a depressed state.
I also have an assumption that the people who take engineering are the ones that score 40+ on methods and spesh. I think I can do well in methods but not so sure about spesh, probably because of my lack of confidence..
You won't know anything for sure if you don't try. So don't think you're not good enough for engineering. In fact, there are PLENTY of people who enter eng without a 40+ in methods/spesh. I've talked to plenty of people who didn't even do spesh but if you're considering eng then I recommend you do it (year 12 is not for ages anyway so don't worry). Of course it's a lot of hard work, that just depends on how hard working you are naturally. I know how you feel because I'm also constantly thinking about my future and planning it out, even after 2 years in uni. I think it's good that you have this sort of mentality because it just means you'll be more prepared for the future. Just make sure it doesn't take over your life or cut down on your studies which is much more important.
In short, keep engineering in your options if you're leaning towards it, because chances are you might suit it. Do some research, ask around, look up what it involves, etc. Given that you have a while to go before you actually have to decide on a course, keep exploring different career pathways because there's so many out there that could potentially interest you.
