Your worries are over, /prog/

Sup /prog/, remember me? I'm that kid that keeps complaining about how much the IT industry sucks and asking for college advice.

You'll be pleased to know I've finally decided to just grit my teeth and actually put forth the effort to complete a double major with EE, and actually get respect for my knowledge while getting to work in cool stuff like DSP and Embedded Systems (or maybe something else if I anyone would like to recommend something else I should look into).

Surprisingly, all it really means is the courses I'll have to deal with will result in taking 5 courses a semester and maybe some over the summer instead of 4, and that I get to deal with more numerous and difficult technical courses (yay less English and fluff :). I will bother you no further on this subject.

Is this awesome? Y/N

Are you the same guy who named his dog Haskell?

Hahaha, you have completely misunderstood college.  You are going to fail miserably.

I guess I'll take that for the most part as a Yes, then?

kinda expected this response tho, of course.

? I always thought it was to do something that you're interested in and enjoy that you can also make a living on? Perhaps make some good friends along the way and experience some new things with the alloted new-found independence?

Oh sorry, you must mean [i]partying, having sex with strangers probably carrying STDs, and drinking away 4 years while putting yourself in (for some people) upwards of 50-100k in debt.]/i]. Enjoy being in debt for the rest of your life while I actually make something of myself. I know you enjoy tossing flames at other people while in your parent's basement to feel superior, but we can't all be successful.

What makes you think that I give the slightest ounce of a flying Philadelphia fuck about your future and prospects for life?

No, I named my dog Haskell.

BBCode failure. The information in your post is negated.

I don't see how >>8 was trolled, Haskell is an awesome name for a pet dog. Other names could be:

Kernighan
Ritchie
Sussman
Abelson
Ruby

Don't listen to the rest of these assholes on this board, it's good that you've found something that you'll enjoy doing. I actually envy you (currently stuck in the final year of BA CompSci degree, prospect of unemployment finally hitting me :(

>>15

Finally a non-troll =/

Also, why do I randomly hear BA for CompSci instead of the appropriate BS? I think you may be more screwed than you think if it isn't even a science degree...

Personally, I don't see what the big deal is with double majors. It's only 16 credits more, so I'm not really taking many more courses each semester. It's just that the fluff courses are cut for more rigorous technical courses, but you get a second motherfuckin' degree for your trouble (and actually get respect from the science/engineering community instead of those just in comp sci who are usually looked down upon by engineers)

I'll probably do DSP and Embedded Systems, though I'm not sure if I'll look into some other possibilities as well.

>>16
Not everyone who disagrees with you is a troll

>>6
hahhah oh wow
enjoy your failure at life

>>1
You'll end up having a mediocre life, a pointless career, and will die a nobody. Just like the rest of us.

Oh god, is that what you think college is all about? PROTIP: it's not the mickey mouse bubble gum fairy tale you think it is. This is real life motherfucker.

I'm a different kid /prog/, recommend me some colleges.

Nothing fancy/expensive because my grades aren't that great (I spend too much time reading SICP) and because I'm poor.

>>21
No.

>>20

Excuse me if I don't understand your point. I hardly think working hard for an education, and education being important to an individual, is somehow ``childish".

Just because you got the AIDS and drank away 4 years of your life doesn't mean everyone else has to, you fucking sheep.

>>23
It's ok, >>20 dropped out of college because it was ``too easy'' for him

>>23,24
Same person, and we have been constantly trolled.

I feel the need, the need for weed!

Marijuana MUST be legalized.
