What do you want to do? If I put together a list of things it'd be hundreds of lines long and at least some of them would be profitable.

I think people aren't baffled by you choosing a high-paying career, but by you not having anything that's both high-paying and interesting. Why electrical engineering and not CS or nuclear or something? Is there nothing at all that both interests you and pays well?

[wormer]

This is the thing that I have the most passion for. I like computers and electronics. But it's dwarfed by other passions that I have that I would much rather be doing. No bills are being paid by me wanting to bike or write in my journal.

And I know it's a sentiment that isn't unique to me, since a lot of my friends from similar backgrounds share this feeling. You choose the major that you can tolerate and also pays well.

So you do like it. That is unlike the poster I was responding to.

[barry-cotter]

The poster you are responding to here and the one you responded to first are the same person.

[WalterBright]

You're right, I missed that. I assumed they weren't because they were contradictory.

[honkler]

you are absolutely right, and I understand you completely.
