Making Manhattan: Talking Life, ‘Insecure’ & ’50 Central’ with Tristen J. Winger

So I decided I’m not going to do brain surgery, I’m not going to be a doctor but I’m going to do engineering. Specifically, I’ll be a mechanical engineer. So I went to Cal State Northridge for mechanical engineering. I went to the program for three and half years before I decided I do not want to do this. Yes I am good at this, but, I don’t want to do math everyday, all day. I was at this crossroads where I said I don’t want to do this but I need a degree and so I decided to do liberal studies just to get a degree. I didn’t like being in the classroom and also I graduated early so my mindset was a lot younger than everyone else. I’m 16 years old expected to make all these life choices like this is what I want to be, I’m going to take these classes…and it didn’t workout that way. -- Respect Magazine
