I'm a college undergraduate at a local small 4 year university that offers a wide range of fields to major in. I currently am 21 years old, 60 hours of coursework completed (all basic/entry level courses, no specialized classes). I intend on continuing my degree after I finish a Bachelors, onto a master's and doctorate. The only problem is, I have a 3.44 GPA, I'm somewhat behind compared to other students (some of my classmates from HS are already finished) and I have no idea what I like to do as far as this situation comes. Both of my parents have cancer, I support myself by being a waiter, and I don't have the best advisory group as family (Only 1 of my family have graduated with a B.S.).
I currently am interested in Mechanical Engineering. I would like to work in Robotics. The thought of creating something that like interests me. I also did well in my Biology and Chemistry classes. I'm good at mathematics as well.
HELP! :)

Have you ever taken a MAPP test ? This test is not based on what you know or what you do not know it is based on what you feel or how you act in a situation.
They have a free test that gives you some idea what careers would be best for you depending on how you answer the questions. Be honest with each response on what you would actulally do in each case. I hope this helps you. You may have taken a paper version of this test in high school, but it may have been called something else. Good luck

Quite a unique qualification; 3.44 GPA but good in Robotics. If Mechanical engineering is where you are interested, then go for it! The options of mechanical engineers are varied and many, while in biology and chemistry courses , there are many too, but numerous enrolees and graduates will surely saturate the positions available. Anyway, you can always apply your chemistry and biology interests in your career, should there be a necessity in the future , and not everyone has those combinations, so I am sure you will carve your own niche as a professional.
