So I have an SAT Tomorrow to derp around with and I am working on my list of colleges to consider to consider. I'm actually going into some hard science so it is actually worth going, but I find myself so, like, wishy washy over what exactly. I mean on the spectrum of EE -> CE -> CS -> SE (Non-abused SE where you actually do shit) I like the close to hardware CE and the close to user SE (with a dash of design, but graphic design and the like I can look into some other time) While originally I was going for CS, I ending up realizing I didn't want to derp around with heavy math theory when I really wanted to go direct with the user. That said I'm currently looking into EE with a CE option (possible double major) or just straight up CE as I can do SE stuff on my own while still actually getting a real degree that can help me out. Co-ops would be win and stuff too. In general, I don't have much of a clue what I want and while the first year I can "discover myself," such a time may be a bit short as APs might get me out of a fair bit of general Ed. or if anything some Engineering PreReqs. (BC Calc and Calc based phys anyone?) All in all, what do I do when I like to do software to interface with users directly (so like a non-derp software engineer) but I also like doing hardware on a CompE level in general? Maybe I should just get every engineering degree I can get and just start collecting hats while hitting shit with a wrench.
