Well, speaking from a Brazilian point o view. Here the best universities are public universities (usually federal, though some are property of a specific state). Also, medicine here is a BSc degree, so you don't have to do a BSc in biology, say, you just do a BSc in medicine, which is 6 years...

Well, I'm a BSc in CS, which is very related to SE. I think it really depends on what you want to do for living. You said you like teaching, but would you be fine teaching hundreds of students in a class on a daily basis? And as well do some research? If so, then you should go for a MSc and a...

Oh indeed. I was just making the point that CS is not about coding stronger. On another note about the problem solving skills. I think that all math related courses develop their own set of problem solving skills. I know a lot of people from engineering that are very good at their fields...

Thanks for the reply :) So, my knowledge is not that wide. I know the basics about numerical methods: integration (Trapezium and simpson), interpolation (Lagrange, nevile, bezier and splines), zeros of functions (bissection and Newton), ODE (runge kutta). However, I don't have a deeper...

Hi, I'm about to start my MSc in Computer Science studying "Combinatorial Optimization", which was already the theme of my undergraduation thesis. I like the field and the research, but I'd rather prefer working with numerical methods and techniques. The problem is my current university has a...

Im sorry taking so long to answer, but it has been a crazy week for me. Well, what you said is true, but how hard is to get into jobs being older, Luke 27~28 Years old? PS: I've never worked, and in college i would only be able to work as internship.
