Hey, I understand this is a homework help zone - but I believe deciding on a university major is important to myself and probably a lot of others.
I am in this dilema - I like math, but i think engineering is dead, CS does not seem to be a big market for jobs right now, electrical engineering is no better, aerospace engineering = move away, environmental engineering = biology etc. So what are the alternatives?
I looked at Economics,for those math oriented individuals (like myself) Economics seems to make sense. But does it involve studying lots of history, and memorizing instead of math? And will it be possible to get jobs?
I then looked at a career in science. But once again I will likely have to move away. Theoretical Physics is not a huge job opening...but perhaps very rewarding for those interested in theoretical science.
I then looked at taking pure math - but that is probably the worst for jobs, and well, I do love Math, but pure math...no.
Finally I'm considering accounting, but that involves working around the clock with people's finances, and well, it could be interesting, I don't know...
Anyway, I am completely lost in finding an alternative to the engineering, can anyone give their thoughts, and ideas on this?
-thanks
