So what did you major in? Difficulty? Career afterwards? Plans for graduate school?
I have a question: What's a major and a minor...? Well, I know what a major is, just wanna hear some confirmation; not so sure about a minor though, we don't have that stuff over here... :P
major is your primary concentration, your minor is a secondary subject which you focus on
So if I'm studying Computer Science, that would be my major, right...? :wacko:
What about my minor...? I'm not concentrating on anything else, ATM... Is it mandatory over there...? :D
I don't think minors are mandatory...Quote:

Change cup guy.
Majored in Information Technology. Got 36 credits toward a 60 credit diploma then dropped out. Plan on returning sometime this year. Was hella easy too.
Minors are sometimes mandatory depending upon the University. Mine requires them unless you have a comprehensive major which really isn't that much different from the normal major. Having said that i'm majoring in chemistry and i'm going through the comprehensive major program.
Majored in computer science for a semester, got a .463 GPA b/c i really didn't bother...
Working on getting a job ATM, gonna try again in the fall, after my mandatory "temporary dismissal". :(
majored in music business and technology but thinking about just going into music technology and production....taking my sweet time with it tho...part time for like 8 semesters now but at least i don't have any god forsaken student loans....
Excellent! :wacko:Quote:

No plans for graduate studies either... If I don't get rolling with an employment in a vgm development studio soon, I'll be out of the loop for good! It's already scary the thought of diving into next-gen development knowing absolutely nothing about them dangfangled new devices... :wacko:
Soooo.... GBA dev FTW!! :rofl:
One example of having a required minor is in education. your major would be teaching and your minor would be knowing about what you teach
What if you taught how to teach?
then you'd be a professor of education and you'd have a minor in whatever you'd want to be teaching ppl how to teach....i think...
what if you were an EP admin? wut wud ur major/minor be?
i'm majoring in digital media. specifically, i'm going for graphic and web design. in school now and plan on working for a publishing company as a senior graphic designer and eventually become an art director.
thats pretty cool u seem to have a nice plan for a bright future....
i was thinking i cud get involved with sound design for video games but its just a thought at the moment...right now im really specialized in recording and song production but id like to make a transition since i hate am pop....j pop is a dif story tho...outside the us audiences for interesting music are much larger and lucrative
I am planning on majoring in Chemical Engineering with a possibility of a computer tech minor. They go hand in hand now with research. With a chemical engineering degree I could perhaps go for my graduate in nuclear enginneering or something in the nuclear field. With getting a chemical engineering degree I am not limiting myself as much as if I went for nuclear first.
If your name is MasJ then it would be engineering. ;)Quote:

School hasn't been that hard. The two biggest challenges have been being so young, and my health. Other than that, I'm pulling a 3.77. I plan on going to graduate school afterwards. In fact, next semester I'm taking one graduate level course (MEMS for anyone interested), which will count towards my masters in the end. I'm shooting for two more during my senior year.
wut kind of engineering? software engineering? playstation reverse engineering? :P
just wondering cuz theres alot of really smart heads here and ive only been a member for a lil over a month so i dunno too much about alot of the ppl here
He's studying for it right now anyway. I'm pretty sure its Electrical Engineering. He or Dingy could tell you more than I.Quote:

I bet I'm right, cause I'm so smart
in the context i was using it, i think it would mean that you figure out how a playstation is engineered in reverse, as it applies to emulation, which is a form of reverse engineering in that you take platform games and then re-engineering them to run on pcQuote:

Nowhere to use in the area I live, and I don't want to move yet. :shrug:
The only place in the area is the Circle K around the corner, but I am sure they are already staffed at the Programming/analysis position. Although I do hear that they have a position for a football analyst.Quote:

I have taken classes over the summer, so I will have only 24 credits my senior year instead of 36, but I think it's still most accurate to consider myself a junior.Quote:

Given I've missed lots of school due to health reasons, I can definately relate. It's truly a shame when it affects your education as such, considering it already makes your life bad enough.Quote:
