I am currently a Biomedical Engineering student. I LOVE MATH, science, some physics, and all analytical things. However, I cannot stand engineering.
Why? I don’t know. I don’t want to work for a big corporation all my life. I don’t want to work in a male dominated atmosphere (I had a job at a rapid prototyping center and the males were horrible to work with- i.e. “Oop, go do that with Sophie, she’s a girl.” “Why are females so ______?”
I always wanted to go into a field where I could help people who really need it (the underdogs)- originally I wanted to go to med school and work at a free clinic.
Money is NOT an issue.
I really want to work with kids who have special needs- give them the care and attention and good teaching they need.
But I am SO SCARED that I am going to miss calculus, and thermodynamics, etc, etc. How can I incorporate these things into my life without a career in them?

I am interested being an industrial designer, but I read something about the rapid prototyping machine is going to a bad thing for industrial designers. (wikipedia)
Also does anybody know if the salary is good for an ID, or if it is really hard to get a job?
Any info would be vastly appreciated.
