After dropping out, I thought hard about what I wanted to do with my life, and settled on engineering. However, as I remembered quickly math is not my forte, I dropped to a less math intensive route, and decided on food science, which is basically the chemistry that goes into food production.
I then transfered to college Z, large state university, in March. Uh oh, big problem, turns out I suck at chemistry too. I switch to linguistics (spanish minor), but I don't tell my parents. Why? Because I've changed my major probably over ten times, and they are starting to get fed up with me.
The only reason I didn't do linguistics from the beginning is because I know there are no jobs with a bachelor's in it, and my parents are career-focused. I don't know what to do, people always say it's never as bad as you think it will be to tell them the truth, and I think these people have never met parents like mine.
I am so stressed about this, especially since I live at home. I'm also super stressed I won't be able to find a job, and my only hope is being nearly fluent in Spanish will help me get something.
I feel like such a failure and a letdown because I always had the best grades, I was supposed to be the scientist, I was supposed to be someone. I feel stuck between languages, the only thing in my life I've ever been competent at and the thing everyone thinks I'm good at.

Get a double major by doing a teaching block. All secondary schools require language. My major was Spanish/Education, with a minor in Music. I can teach anywhere. I can also be a sub.
