well, one thing i want to point out is, depending on how good you are, you can actually make a living being a grad student. I knew one electrical engineering grad student who was making 50K a year. Yes, its an incredible rarity, but if you can get people lining up to pay your for...

it is actually kind of dead. you might as well be day trading. There is literally nothign with a stable upward trend with the exception of maybe energy market, and even that not nearly as stable as it used to be

getting a job with a BS in physics is quite hard. Like stats/math, physics is simply one of those degrees where you really kind of need a MS/doctorate to get into industry/acadamia. I would recommend getting a post baccalaureate degree in operations research/industrial engineering. The strong...

that is something i considered SChools with actuarial degree programs are actually quite rare However, u do not need a dgree. You just have to pass the exams. However, it is helpful to major in something relevenat, such as math, applied math, statisitcs, accounting, etc... You will want to...

at that point i have absolutely no clue how to do anything like that. I am comfortable with working wiht some unix distros such as fedora and ubuntu, and i am comfortable using bash and writing bash scripts. I am also learning the tc shell. How should i go about learning how to write kernel...

well I am definitely not getting it, since i still have over a year before i graduate so i can't even aplply lol but i might check with them next year. I looked at your website. You were a programmer? May i ask, why didnt you try to get another programming job?

OMG i was scrounging the internet for job openings and i found something that was perfect! also, in the requirements: Bachelor's degree in computer engineering or applied mathematics (or equivalent). Now, i need to get this job. What are some things i can do to boost my resume?

it sounds good, but i really don't think you should satrt it by talking about personal statements lol

it is crazy easy for girls to land jobs/internships in engineering So yea go ahead

yea, i guess I am not too worried. I think the main thing now though, however is getting some experience outside of the class room cause right now i have none. I am trying to look into getting a small research position with a professor, or anything to put on a resume besides classes I've taken

well, one of my other big fears is, let's say i line up some interviews, and i get asked: "so why didnt you just go for a BS in computer science?" and honestly the only answer i have is: "well, the CS department was impossible for me to get in since my grades were bad the first two years"...

dont get me wrong, i am definitely happy with what i am doing. I think from a purely coding perspective, with a little more work, i can be as good at coding as an actual CS major. However, i looked at many different CS programs, and they all culminate in large group projects which span one or...

the first field is time, and it increments in 1/frequency. The second field is the amplitude. Digital audio always has an amplitude between -1 and 1. THe units are dB, however dB is a pure logarithmic unit. Its a unit, but its not actually there. Kind of like radians

ok so here's the thing: I really want to be a programmer as a career. However, there are some complications: At my school, computer science is a closed major, and its fairly competitive to get in. In my first 2 years of college, i didnt know what i wanted to do and i did not take school...
