Hi Allen, I am currently a senior in high school completing my UC personal statements and other college apps. (Side note - I just made my reddit account right now to post here, so sorry for any misunderstandings.) I've been following you since your inspirational "How to Get a Lamborghini: Allen Wong's Story" video. I'd love to follow in your footsteps in becoming a successful app developer; however, although I do like the concept of coding, I have taken Computer Programming and AP Computer Science in my current high school and I am not very good at doing so. I do, however, have a passion for automobiles, and thus want to major in something closely related and I've discovered Mechanical Engineering. I know Physics is a big component to this major, but I am not very good at Physics. Did you ever consider studying Mechanical Engineering as opposed to Computer Science and Engineering? What are your thoughts on Mechanical Engineering? Do you think it will be easy to find jobs (specifically in California)? Because I feel that my Physics skills will hold me back in Mechanical Engineering, I am also considering Business Administration/Entrepreneurship. I know I can do well in this major, because I've participated in my family's small-time business quite a bit and feel well versed thus far. Have you ever had to think about choosing between this two?
