I'm currently a Computer Science major who is taking an intro to hardware/binary class with a professor who just drags on and on. He hasn't graded anything all semester so I have no idea how I am doing in the class. I thought being a Computer Science major would be fun but this guy is sucking it all out. I think I need to change my major before I go crazy.
I feel so much better. TP for the thread idea.
Software engineering is great discipline and I think a good launching pad for any other career direction you might take. But the CS programs have nothing to do with Software Engineering. Sadly completing a CS program is a pre-req for a lot of SE jobs. I advise going to a few classes of any professor before you take their course, teaching is hard, and so finding the people who do it well is important. If you want more insight into the field, or course suggestions - PM me.
I got impulsive buying my camera, for some reason I got talked into buying the HD camera that uses tapes to save 100 bucks or so. The camera is great, but the file transfer is PAINFUL. And my wife cannot really do it by herself, so its just going to waste. I had technology convergence and I hate non-compatibility.
