is TURBO!!!!!
And well, a CS here n_n Lots of math :S and as @gsrdgrdghd says, abstract stuff :P
My BS minor is in math and I have another in Religious History. I think I've used the history more than I've used the CE and the math combined. sigh
I started out with Pre-Engineering (want o be EE) than turn to phsyics/Computer science. By the time I finished my under grade, I got double degree Computer science & physics, and minor in mathematics.
When I was in school they only had (CS) Computer science, (CIS) Computer information system, and MIS (management information system).
CS is for software development and any programming that included artificial intelligent, Tele-communation(now a day Networking) , software engineering, Graphic & Game programming, various languages (low to high level ).
CIS is for business computing, cobol, CICS, DB2, system and you have to take business course. CLIST and JCL. (PROLOG programming and REXX script( pretty powerful) is an optional)
MIS, basic computing such as pascal, cobol and accounting, business, as well as various software application those day, LOTUS 123 & Quatro pro(spreadsheet), Havard graphics(presentation), Paradox, xbase, dBase, Fox pro(database management).
Earlier day, they call coder as programmer. It is changed to software engineer.
My advice is still in school and finished your school (college/university).
There is always job available in IT, computing, and data processing. However you may not like what is available for you.
(e.g. because of pay, different kind of work than you expected, different hours, on call 24x7, working on weekend and holiday, different platform and technology than you know.) Don't be stingy or picky when you start.
Because you might get what you want or you might not get one at all. But stick with any IT, Computing, and data processing field.
In real world, most of the company will train you even you are an expert in this or that.
Because, business process, Methodology, project and time management and collabration system or tools are different.
I consider that as a lovely dream, since I loved Physics/Mathematics and to a bit lower extent computer science (or engineering as what I did in university). I was thinking of going forward in physics and maybe I could teach eventually in a college
All the politics amongst faculties/professors/lecturers aside, being an academic is actually quite a fulfilling job, and it's something you can retire on.
Indeed so, except I'm a little younger.
This forum is becoming a kidsfest.
I started using Debian when I was 11. Switched away from windows completely by the time I was 12.
What's wrong with the younger generation actually wanting to improve their knowledge, as opposed to 'It Just Works'?
So far -- at least in this thread -- I've seen quite a few older folks teaching life experience lessons to the younger generation. What's wrong with that? That's what Internet is about, isn't it?
Yup, call me stupid but I need this kinda advice.
Actually its all about porn
Of course, but this is not the first thread about it. I for one am not happy with it, but I'm just one guy. I come here for VPS talk and tips.
Or do what I did. Publish, find out that what you proved disproves what a professor from MIT spent 30+ years of his life trying to prove, piss him off so that he writes a paper and delivers it at a national conference that basically says that I don't have a clue without actually proving why and never see another job offer again.
Yup, the academic field is lots of fun.
@drmike -- I did mention politics, didn't I :P
