If you are going to get an engineering degree, you will need math and physics, so if you don't like that it might not be for you. My best advice on how to pass is to find a group to study with, that is what pulled me through. We were 3 - 5 guys usually doing projects and problems together, if I had done it by myself I would have had a very hard time.Hoping to go for CS/Engineering next year, any advice? When I say "advice", I mean anything that doesn't result in me jumping in front of the nearest bus or any other action which would cause my life to end prematurely.
I love math and physics. I will most likely go for a dual Computer Science/Computer Engineering degree since they overlap each other in many areas. What do you recommend I do to prepare(assuming you majored in a computer-related engineering degree)? Should I know any specific languages(I plan on learning Ruby and Python before I go)? Should I use a specific OS(I am quite fond of Ubuntu and Mint)? Also, how was the work load? Do you think it wise to minor in something completely unrelated or would that run the risk of stretching myself too thin? I am prepared to pull a Tesla and study from 3AM to 11PM if necessary .If you are going to get an engineering degree, you will need math and physics, so if you don't like that it might not be for you.

Well, I haven't done any computer studies, I studied engineering (naval architect), and I have probably four semesters total in math and physics, though spread out over the years. As for the computer guys, I remember they didn't have that much math and IIRC limited physics. However, it certainly helps if you are familiar with any programming languages prior to starting, cause the few friends I had that went IT really struggled with those subjects.I love math and physics.

Do you still play the tuba?Just being silly. Unfortunately though, I have no college degree. It was fully my intention to continue schooling right after highschool, going for a degree in music education or music performance ((I'm a tubist actually)) --- It just so happens that real life kinda took charge and priorities changed. That was back in '93 --- I'm not sure if ever I will go for a college degree now, but the thought is always in the back of my mind...
And are you using that degree as your career?
I ask this because I have a degree in Applied Biology majored in Microbiology and have done nothing with it....somehow I veered so far off course and ended up in retail management
Do I think it was a waste of 4 years? No I believe any education isnt a waste but thats just me how about you?
Unfortunately I found myself in a bit of a financial bind some years ago and had to sell my tuba. I haven't played since, but think about it all the time. Tubas are expensive.Do you still play the tuba?
Sorry to hear that, hopefully one day you'll be playing again.Unfortunately I found myself in a bit of a financial bind some years ago and had to sell my tuba. I haven't played since, but think about it all the time. Tubas are expensive.
Well these days education is more of a investment and thats because education isn't cheap.
First priority should be getting a job and them pursuing your interests as the world revolves around money and you need money to live and for gaining education.
