My son is a Senior in the College of Engineering at Boston University and this last semester is pushing him over the edge. He is struggling to get through it even though he is at the finish line. He has regretted his major since the end of sophomore year but it was too late at that point to switch majors. He is extremely discouraged because he cannot find a job, he has had several interviews but never makes it past that first interview. I don't know what to do say other than to encourage him to keep swimming but I think he is running out of gas. He is so close I cannot imagine him losing control now. I thought having a diploma from BU was a shoe in to finding a job but apparently not. He is also disappointed in his GPA at this point and scared it will end worse. Thanks for listening and any advice is greatly appreciated! He has put so much hard work into his major only to be let down and feel it was all for nothing. BTW he is a Computer Engineer not sure what opportunities are available to him after this without experience. Thanks for listening
Editing to add....he is also taking 20 credits this last semester on top of his senior capstone project! My poor guy! NO wonder he is burnt out
