Guys I'm confused. When I look at various college websites, I see programs such as:
Computer Programming
Computer Science
Computer Engineering
Computer Science and Engineering
Computer Science and Engineering Technology
Computer Engineering Technology
That shit confuses me. You'd think the difference between "Computer Science and Engineering" and "Computer Science and Engineering Technology" would be minute, but they're like totally different programs. The former seems to be mostly just raw science and includes classes like chemistry, and the latter seems to be a lot of programming classes and - if I had to guess - is easier to complete considering calculus doesn't come up until later semesters.
I want to have a deep knowledge of computers and I want to program shit, and I don't want to be pigeonholed into a single profession for the rest of my life. Spring semester is comin like what and I don't know what program I'm trying to be in. Please help me out here.
In before pessimistic and cynical posts about how I'm fucked no matter what.
