Question for anyone who majored in aerospace, piloting, physics or engineering?

I can only answer from the standpoint of a professional engineer. A second language is not a requirement for a degree in engineering in accordance with the national accreditation requirements of ABET, but it could be a core requirement of the particular college you choose. If you have tentatively selected a college, check their core credit requirements. It is important to be able to handle stress as an engineer - there is stress if you have too much work and even more stress if you find you have too little work - there is seldom a happy medium in work load. Most other professional disciplines also have their share of associated stress. One important method of learning to be successful is to persevere at a task that you have started rather than quitting. If you can schedule pre-engineering or electronics at a later time, stick with your Spanish 2 class, work hard and persevere. The reward of succeeding through a certain amount of adversity and stress is worth it and will give you skills for overcoming future challenges. There is value in learning a second language, especially if you are pursuing the sciences. In studies it has been found that learning a second language increases ones ability in learning mathematics. A second language seats in the opposite hemisphere of the brain from ones first language and establishes new neural links that bridge both hemispheres to process symbolic thought. Mathematics is also symbolically processed as a second language and seats in the same hemisphere as the second language. The additional neural links created by both, complement each other in logical and symbolic thought processes.

Both good answers. The 2 years of Spanish I took in high school did not help me directly, in any of the 100 jobs I held before retirement, including 4 jobs in foreign language countries. Possibly some indirect help. I also found learning another language one of my most difficult and time consuming subjects. An incomplete does not look good on your transcript, so likely you should grin and bare it. Neil

You better check on what the high school graduation requirements are. And if you intend to go on to college, you better check on what the college entrance requirements are.
