I'm studying Computer Engineering this fall, and I plan on pursuing a career in mobile application development. It's what my brother does and he also studied this major. We are pretty much almost opposite. He studied a lot in school and it got him far, he went to a good catholic high school and moved on into Columbia University in NY (where we live). While I went to a public high school and I didn't study. I struggled and kept finding the easy way out. To be honest I've only put in a lot of work in studying once for a math regents. I didn't try hard enough. So my grades were mostly 70s. Math and Science never made it past 75 I believe. Now I go to a community college, my 2nd year now. My point in this discussion is, am i entering academic suicide? Or if I truly put in my all, study hard and get tutoring at my school if needed (my college offers free tutoring) will I be able to achieve this? I'm nervous to enter the engineering world and get stomped on because well, I don't know my potential. I've never really put in my all in school. It would be great if I do have the potential to succeed in this major, but it scares me that what if I can't. Help me out here.
