I'm doing Computer Engineering.

Its a mixure of compsci and eletrical engineering. Most computer engineers at my university, after graduating, are getting jobs doing software :yeshrug:

I'm probably going to switch to compsci for that very reason. :francis:

What u do? I mean if you got a secret I can get a good job with an arts degree tell me. But if I can't get a job with it, there's no point of going to college.

its that or public health

just remember , you will need to be decent at maths for most things , youll need to apply maths to most things you do even if its just add/subtract and times

my younger brother does computer science and the maths work he has to do is crazy :mindblown: but he enjoys it tho

Good advice man! I think I'd rather do finance instead of accounting, but I heard finance is hard as shyt compared to accounting, especially the math.

Thanks for reminding me about the scholarships!


Only take computer science if you are strong in math and programming.
If not, select another major or select Information Systems. Information Systems or Information Technology will have computing along with business courses.
Computer engineering is even more difficult than computer science.

Accounting is a solid way to go.
Consider finance. With a finance degree, you could work for a brokerage firm, banking, or even an insurance company.

The strategy, in part, should be to finish college in 4 years or less. If a major is too difficult or stressful, no shame in selecting a less strenuous major.

While you are in college, attempt to acquire as much funding as you can in the way of scholarships and grants. This can be a way to make some money. :myman:

Do that right, you could begin funding a retirement account and a whole life insurance policy.
If you elect to do the aforementioned, create a Roth IRA and select a dividend paying, whole life insurance policy.

What was your non stem major? Was it worth it?
That one's classified information :sas1:. Let's just say it was a social science that doesn't guarantee a job after graduation. You have to put in more work for it to be useful.

The IT ones are in the same arena- you might as well pick one of those- I'm an IT recruiter and you will be in demand depending on your market

Honestly finance is easier, accountings a real bytch with stupid arbitrary rules.

Comp sci in my opinion as long as u dont live in an oversturated market like in cali.

You're the first person I ever hear say finance was easier. I heaed finance has a lot of math, and much more than accounting.

You think I should still do computer science even if I'm trash at math?

I wanna take a chance, but I want to work while in school, finish in 2 years (I have my associates), and im trash at math.

I don't want to end up being trash at it and waste time, or get ahead then stuck with o credits to transfer over.
