Not sure where else to ask this so here goes.

My real passion is music (I know, I'm cliche), but as I am nowhere near talented enough to be an artist I thought that perhaps I could channel my hobby into a career of creating or innovating guitars, amplifiers, or pedals. For my "senior project" in high school I made a guitar from scratch, turning a slab of mahogany into a double-cutaway Tele-style guitar, and it was by far one of the most rewarding experiences I have had. I have been constantly customizing my own stuff since. I guess my question is, what kind of college major would be a good platform for me to get a job at Fender or other guitar/amp/pedal companies in the design/innovation sphere? I am currently a freshman in college and somewhat still deciding on my major. Currently I am enrolled in the engineering program, but I am having my doubts as to whether or not I want to continue pursuing it as it is apparent that I struggle with calculus. Are there any other majors I could pursue to get me a job in the area I want, or is engineering the way to go?

Thank you in advance for any advice,
-T.J.

Excellent choice TJ!
The founder of Fender was indeed an engineer. Good luck with your studies and welcome to the Forum!
