AI Thread Summary
Choosing a course related to computers, programming, electronics, or gaming requires careful consideration of personal strengths, weaknesses, and career goals. Employment prospects in these fields are generally positive, but job availability can vary based on location and specific skills. It's emphasized that one course alone won't dictate a career path, and gathering more information about personal interests and educational background is crucial. Additionally, utilizing career guidance resources, such as personality assessments, can provide valuable insights into suitable career options. Online platforms offering career advice can be beneficial for making informed decisions.

I really need help in deciding what course to take next year. I want to have a career with something to do with computers/programming/electronics or even games. But I don't know what course to take, could anyone make some suggestions?
How are the employment prospects in this field? Will I get hired straight out of uni?
Any help is very appreciated.
Thanks

The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics.
