Sometimes I just don't know whether you just make stuff up or hear voices from radio static but saying a CS degree doesn't mean very much is hardly a good statement to make. As Integral said, there is more to CS than just computational complexity and basic algorithms. In fact, non-trivial...

Do continue to let us know what happens, I'm intrigued.

I actually disagree with most of what sweetpotato said and think that if you can find a way to minimize your time spent dealing with inefficiencies then the more power to you. Although, dealing with stuff like that are a part of life and not solely college. I'm also a little unsure about what...

I'm always mind-boggled by these concerns coming from what seem like HS students usually without any foresight into how different things could get while studying in college. A preference for subject matter can change, your dream job might change, things can change. It's definitely good to have...

This is a silly question, nobody is dumb for liking one subject over another. Nobody can tell you what to do but you will eventually have to buckle down and make a decision unless you are rich and want to attend school for 25 years in which you can ignore this statement. In any case, I...

I doubt either of them are going to matter very much past school but I would suggest diff. eq. since the first course on number theory is usually doing some useless things such as finding the number of solutions for x^3 + y^3 = z^3 and seeing if 23458623786487236483 is divisible by 9.

Well they say that the first step in figuring out a problem is understanding it and you seem to have a good grasp on things so I have no doubt you'll figure things out. Good luck.

It sounds like you already know what you want. The next step is achieving it.

Very interesting link. I have never heard of this school. So what is your ultimate goal? If it's just to take classes, then any school is as good as the next but if you are looking to transfer to a specific university or get a particular type of degree then I'm sure more people will be able to...

So you're planning on getting your undergrad done in CS then work for a year and then go for your graduate work in CS? If that's the case, you might be better off just continuing without interruption. But like Choppy said, it depends on the person. Perhaps you want to take a break or save...

Good luck with that. :cool:

To talk about the last thing you said first, I would have to say that there are people out there who get the help they need through medications. I get a little irked when people talk about pills that are supposed to make them "happy" instead of realizing that some of medications used by...

What is this mental illness that you have? And is it under control?

Wow, that's just messed up. If I were you at that point I would have taken out a pad of paper and pen and told the guy professor to sit down on the couch and say "So...tell me about your mother?"
