SRL Archive - General

Was wondering what SRL wants to major in college, or if you are already in college, what are you currently majoring in, also please tell us what grade you are in

I would like to be a graphic artist, and i am a sophomore (10th grade) in high school.

Computer Engineering (read: Electrical oriented towards computer hardware) and Computer Science

MusicTechnologist, Composer, Sound Designer, Director and Studio Owner with a degree in composition, applied sound and musical software development.

my work: sound.condor.tv

:O
You guys have Native Instruments Komplete? I've been trying to find where to buy that for a while. I really want Kontakt

Finance and Economics

Computer Science

Edit: Freshman(9th grade)

Political Science and History

I have a Bachelors degree (4 years) in Computer Science.

Dunno what's lääketieteen lisensiaatti in english, but basically a doctor :) So, medschool is my goal.

When you take computer science, do you learn C++, C, Java, and javascript etc etc?
Also when you created your site did you have any knowledge with Java or any other language?

I want to major in Pharmacy, meteorology, and computer sciences. But im going to be taking 4 years of nurse 1st to be able to pay off my collage bills.

Currently in first year of Bachelors of Engineering. I'll likely major in Chemical Engineering, but I don't have to decide until the end of this year(ish)

Nanotechnology :)

Electrical automation, soon a licenced one

that makes for a lot of school…

General engineering with civil option.
Basically a civil engineering degree with lots of good background in other engineering.
in senior year now.

Computer Engineering (track toward computer science)

Communication and psychology.

Most schools use a particular language to start you out with, mine used Java, but then you do use other ones throughout the course of schooling. Once you learn one language, most of the others come fairly easily.

When I created my site I had only taken a beginners class in Java, all the PHP, Javascript and such I had to work with I just learned as I went.

And you really need to focus on a single field, or at least similar fields. If you went to school for 15 years and got a degree in pharmacy, meteorology, computer science and nursing what would you do for a job? You would have to just pick one anyway. You probably have time to choose though, I was the same way when I was younger, I wanted to be a chemist, a physicist, a mechanical engineer, an auto mechanic etc etc. I took some engineering classes towards a mechanical engineering degree but eventually decided that I'd like computer science just as much and there are more jobs, and they are better paying then mechanical engineering, so I switched. That's why I took 5 years of college instead of 4. :)

So I take it you liked the course? I'm just wondering since I'll go to university next year to take a bachelor's in CS too..

If you can handle the work, go software eng. instead! :)

Immediate pay increase, a bit more pure math, but well worth the time invested. Not to mention you get an iron ring :)

Yep, I liked it well enough I suppose. Also, as far as my college went software engineering and computer science is the same degree.

Mechatronics Engineering :D

Business Administration / Economics

There is a lot of overlap here, but a software eng degree is more like an honours comp. sci. Also, software eng. has more hardware aspects to it than CS does.

Nanotechnology :)

that interests me, but i think i plan on going for general engineering, then narrowing once i know where i want to go.

Are you sure? I thought it was more the other way around. CS being more theoretical and SE more practical…

You are still correct, but software eng gets more practical hardware experience in comparison.

basically one learns how to completely waste computer memory while the other learns how to conserve it, am i rite?

Going for engineering associates right now; will transfer into chem, electrical, or comp sci. Haven't decided yet.

Mechanical Engineering

Haha. Hopefully not. Eng has a lot more maths, but very similar nevertheless. Some of the courses are the exact same and it's silly that there STD two versions.

aww, im a year away from University.. I plan on doing computer science but i need to up my marks by a lot be able to get into the course :(

/me wants to study astrophysics :)

Something like what fakawi is doing sounds nice..

I would like to major in Computer Science or Business. Maybe I could be a CIO!

My current plans are to do Information Technology (bachelor) or Computer Science (Bachelor), either or.
Mainly cause of…you guys, this is always fun, I am always learning, and its really got me into the programming side of computers, something I never thought I would (yes I consider this programming). at some point I will learn C or Java, or finish learning python.
This will hopefully start in the next few years, I am finishing High-School this year, and will look for a job to pay my uni fees up-front (discount *cheers* I love Australia).
