I only like the power field

I like civil engineering but I don't like to b outside,I hate the sun and the heat

Yes... I'm an electrical engineer and I'm specialized in installations of electrical wiring and equipment. Like you I was not that fond with electronics, but we have several other choices (at least here in Mexico)... the options we have here are installations of electrical wiring (that means of houses, industries, buildings, etc), electrical substations (that would be power systems), transmission lines, and others... and for masters you have some other options that don't have electronics (or at least very few electronics)... BUT you will not be able to stay away 100% from electronics if you want to be an engineer (in any field)... right now I'm thinking in a Master related with electronics (lol)... hope this helps you...

yeah, anything is possible but it is worth thinking about. electrical engineering is an extremely broad field these days (IEEE, the institute for electrical and electronic engineers, is the largest professional organization in the world and electrical engineers might well work in more diverse fields than any other profession) ... so, depending on what you want to end up doing in life, you probably can do it with an EE degree. The question is, can you jump though the hoop (coursework) necessary to get there ... or is there a better path to where you want to go. The educational part of the process is more likely than not going to put you though a fair amount of physics. Are you maybe more interested in computer engineering? Often that will let you avoid a lot of the more physics intensive courses. electrical engineering does require a reasonable amount of physics and, while not all of it involves "physics" as such, most requires a lot of the same problem solving skills and mathematics, the reasons people tend to be good at both or good at neither. most engineering is less abstract and not as deep as pure science but I think it is fair to call engineering, especially electrical, "applied physics". At the heart of it, physics is the pursuit of knowledge and understanding for their own sake, while engineering aims to solve a practical problems, i.e. make something that someone will buy. the freshman "physics 101" courses are often used to weed out students from engineering ... because, like it or not, you have to be able to do these or you will quickly find yourself in trouble when you get to the core engineering courses good luck!!

It is not a bad question after all,
But as somebody suggested, if you dont like electronics, you shouldn't get into Electrical Engineer.
Basically there is too kind of Electronics, Digital Electronics and Analog Electronics.
You may argue, that you can go for Communication or Power or other part of Electrical Engineering. But now a day most of Electrical work is done using Analog Electronics.
take care

Wow. By study you mean "get a degreee in", "take a course in", "read about" or "learn about"? I'll assume the first. If you know enough about it to know that you hate it, the answer is No, not unless the rewards are worth your suffering. Ends do not justify means. Bad karma. As a chemist, there are areas of chemistry that I really disliked in school. I've known chemists who have gone into patent law, management, and customer service so there is no area of chemistry that can't be avoided. Similarly, you can avoid electronics and still make a living with a EE degree but you really can't avoid the study of electronics. And to be good as an EE as you can be you'll have to be good in electronics even if you don't use it on the job. You should follow your rapture even if its scary not having that 100,000 dollar a year income to rely on.
Also, you can't really understand something you don't like. So thats another problem. What do they say "Love it or leave it". But you don't have to love everything about something to love it. Chances are any job you take with an EE degree will involve you working with a lot of people who DO love electronics and that sounds just downright messy, no?

Don't take this the wrong way, PA, but I guess you're too dumb to succede in any branch of Engineering, even Civil.
You "hate electronics"?
Sheese, get a grip. The entire world -- science, engineering, politics, communication (EVERYTHING) is being transformed by electronics.
If you hate electronics you probably should move to Montana or become a Rik-Shaw operator in Taiwan.

if you like the power field, you should study electrical engineering because it's not just about electronics-- it's also about power

EVERY field of engineering will at some point deal with instrumentation. most (aside from CS) will be outside at least a little bit.
Maybe go into finance?

No... There are other types of engineering to look into, if that's what you're interested in. Electrical engineering is just one of the many subcategories.

What kind of an EE dosnt like electronics :)
but EE isnt just about electronics...since you like power you can focus on power

Why would you want to spend the rest of your life working at something you don't like?
