The College Thread
Hey everyone, I'm part of the graduating class of 2014 and i'd love to here where all of you are going to college with what intended major/ what college do you go to/ what college did you go to!
I'll start- I'm going to the University of Virginia for Material Science and Engineering (MSE). |

Re: The College Thread
cool, I go to the University of Waterloo for Biochemistry, graduating in 2016 (5 years instead of 4 because it has a total of 20 months of co-op)

Re: The College Thread
University of Nebraska-Lincoln for Accounting
I don't know when I'll end up graduating because I've switched majors a couple of times and my fulfilled requirements are wonky because of it. Last edited by tosh; 05-17-2014 at 05:29 PM.. |

Re: The College Thread
For those of you doing Comp Sci, do you have any intentions or goals to go a certain direction with that? I haven't really decided where exactly I want that to end up so I'm curious if any of you may have your goals already set. (If that didn't make sense I'm basically asking if you intend to have any sort of focus or specialty within Computer Science)

Re: The College Thread
Oh, I would've graduated Comp Sci in 2013 had I not dropped out after a year or so... So uh yay no degrees here.

If you have an interest in something specific by all means go for it, just don't close those other doors for yourself by not being versatile - it tends to help a lot in the current job market. Despite my own background being in security and hacking skills, I've ended up doing mostly vanilla mobile development and some gamedev jobs by happenstance. I guess I've been too lazy to actually look for jobs that pertain to my skills and have just ended up wherever I happened to get offers >.>

I want to build more of a foundation in actual application knowledge and industry level skills in what I do have my feet in already. For example, I can comfortably code something for myself in C++ that does a number of things, but I can tell you that at this time a company wouldn't do themselves a huge favor hiring me for a project yet as I'm not at that level. In due time.
