So, I am going to be going to school in the Fall to get my B.S. in Computer Science - Computer Engineering.
Anyone else go down this path or currently going down this path. Just looking for words of wisdom really. I was going to get a 2-yr in Computer Science - Computer Programming but did not complete it. Was like 17 att and did not care for school in general so just got a Generals instead (1 semester vs 3 semesters.) I wish that I had stuck it out when I look back on it. Have not been back because I have no idea what I wanna do. I have been all over the place, and have looked in many doors that I did not care seeing what was inside. I'm feeling pretty good about this Career path though. My choices are limited and I HAVE to go back this Fall, so I guess this is really it, or the Military to fly helicopters but that is my last ditch option for a career. Going to be making up an internship resume & cover letter here soon, as I hope to get into something at least. Get out of my damn Valet job. God its been hot outside. [thumbdown] |

If you couldn't do it for programming why do you think engineering will be any better?
I understand how boring programming can be (I got my degree in it) but honestly engineering's not going to be any better (you're probably going to have a few programming classes in the course too). If you think you can stick it out now for a reason that you couldn't before then go for it. Otherwise I say don't waste the money. |

I have a degree in Computer Engineering and have a job as a Computer Engineer. That being said, going military to get training as a copter pilot's been of similar interest to me as well, then getting out and flying med-flight or police copters after my service time were up. |

Have you factored in all of the negative aspects of the military job in that decision? http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/10263713.stm [surrender][shocked] |

If you couldn't do it for programming why do you think engineering will be any better? Pick a career that does not keep you inside all day. Plus I have bad allergies. Gym membership + a good amount of land will keep me outside and in shape. if that is an option, I'd take it My step-brother has been in for 11 years and is only an E7. If I went it, after training I would out rank him. [rofl] IIRC, you might even need a degree to fly helicopters. I can't remember though. Talked to a lot of recruiters. Some Marine tried recruiting me at school and I just laughed at him. Not good though that the job market is flooded. I don't see how all my friends are going to school for business and finances. None of those guys have jobs and may not have jobs for a while. I was/am considering politics and/or history, but don't really know what I can use that for. Will have to talk to an adviser. That is really all on my plate Computers Politics History I have absolutely no idea what to do. I'm getting to the point where I am just going to pick something and stick with it no matter what. It sucks too cause there is only 1 school that I can go to that is near here that offers BS degrees. There is a school just down the road but is private and costs $15,000 a semester. Maybe if FASFA paid for $10,000 of it I might actually go there but I highly doubt it. |

Just can't resist because I know it's you Red Dog so I'm going to say it (jokingly) - Why should the government be paying for you to go to school? The private market should sort it out just fine. Don't need the government giving you a free ride. Nobody even bother disagreeing with me, cause your just a racist if you do. |

Hey, that is what the other side says all the time. The side you will not find myself on. Anyway, back on topic. Computer Engineering is a subset of Electrical Engineering. So much so that my transition to EE for my Master's was painless. With that said, how is your math background? |
