BS in CS

Name: Anonymous 2011-07-06 9:37

I'm just finishing my freshman year of college in CS and I gotta say, what the fuck are you guys talking about? I'm always hearing people say, "Oh yeah, CS has great interesting job opportunities. SO much out there."

But correct me if I'm wrong; doesn't all that shit boil down to sitting in front of a computer all day programming. Sure, there's all kinds of different languages with these exotic colorful names, and snazzy little terms like "hashing" and "paging." Really neat sounding topics right?

And, like I said, after my first year of college, it seems like CS is exactly that: a bunch of dry ass topics that techies give glittery names to to sound cool.

And me, personally, I hate it. I can't stomach sitting in front of a computer week after week, learning "new topics," but looking at the same God Dang text editor with the same dull ass lines of code. My biggest fear is that I'm gonna turn into some smart ass CS kid that argues over text editors and calls himself a "coder."
And just judging by my fellow students, the graduate fucks, and all the professors I've met, it seems this would be my fate.

Fuck this programming shit. It's a good skill to have and I know its necessary in a huge variety of fields, but programming all day every day for the rest of my life? Fuck that shit, I'm switching to EE.

You mean you would not like sitting in a computer week after week coding?
I'll never understand normal people

EE is starting to involve a lot of coding as well, since everything has gone DIGITAL! But the EE field is still fairly broad, so you could probably find something with minimal code work.

Are you telling me that EE consists of more than sitting infont of a CAD prog all day and combining logic gates together?

Also, whats up with verilog and VHDL?

The cool part of CS is that math part. But you probably won't be able to make a living out of it, so yeah, switch to EE.

But that doesnt quite answer the question.

Got any more topic unrelated insults you want to throw at me?
