Let's here it, what do y'all plan on majoring in? Or, for those more entrenched in University, what are you majoring in?
I'm a curious little man 
My concern is that the availability for computer engineering positions might be complete shit in 4 years.

Except I really plan on hitting up law school after college. My dad's a lawyer, and I've taken a law class in HS, and liked it. My dad would beat my ass if I majored in pre-law though because when he went through everyone that was having a hard time had majored in pre-law. It's his cash, so I'm ok with that.
Not a clue what I'll minor in though...

If you can stand it, pick up Linguistics as a minor (or something) and you'll have opened up a whole buncha jobs.
Computer Engineering is for EE's that wish they could handle Comp Sci.
Vorbis is right. I'm seriously considering picking up like English as a minor, just because the fact that writing well is such a major part of the business world that it wouldn't hurt me. I'm definitely going to try and get the Technical Writing Certificate that my school offers, at least. Look into that.
It's all about getitng something that differentiates you. Experience, extra whatever. Alidane fucked around with this message on 07-20-2004 at 02:41 AM.
I am majoring in Mass Communications with a focus on Journalism and a second focus on Public Relations.
Bachelor's in... something else. Possibly Graphic Design, possibly English (to teach)...who knows? I want something to fall back on in case my job goes out the window. Gikk fucked around with this message on 07-20-2004 at 02:43 AM.
Plan on either pursuing a Ph.D in Philosophy and teaching somewhere or getting my Ph.D in some branch of practicing Psychology and then splitting my time between treating patients and teaching.
Either way, i have 6-8 years of school left in front of me!
I'm a masochist.
Minor = enterprise
Enterprise is unique to MTU, and everyone to have it as a minor has gotten a 60k+ starting salery as their first job.
Enterprise is basicaly your in a busness that gets paid to do research for a company. best part is you get paid to do work in the class.

I like EE, too, so it's all good.

Technically a sophomore, 2 credits till Junior.I am majoring in Mass Communications with a focus on Journalism and a second focus on Public Relations.
I was actually looking at Communications: Public Relations too. Think I could do it? 
Dunno what my "major" would be at the JC I'm going to in the fall.
I'm going to get into the gaming industry, its my only goal, I've pursued this for years now, I will not be told otherwise. Failure is not an option.

Secondary: Teaching, emphasis in Science, for HS and College level classes
I decided to choose CE over CS because I like CS work just a little less to give CE work the edge. I've always liked circuits in electronics, heh. To be able to work for, say, Intel would be pretty damn awesome. Waisz fucked around with this message on 07-20-2004 at 05:19 AM.

Wow, I never realized how many CS/CE we had.
CS is Crop Science here. Don't be confusing me with no dirt lover.

Bah, CS is and always will be Computer Science.
You could pick up a handful of soil anywhere in the world, put it under the microscope and find a number of new species, and already classified species about which almost nothing is known.
College transitions are difficult, though. I'm changing soon.

I'm going to go to med school of some sort. Going to get my masters.
And the Navy's gonna pay for the whole damn thing.
