You goto University of Toronto right?? I heard 3rd year is the hardest there. I'm a 1st year ECe student myself there (as is MartyTheManiak).
So you stayed for the Godiva Crown thing they had today?

Didn't you take any general education courses during the last three years? Most of those credits would transfer to your new degree, as long as you had at least a C in the class.
Anyway, I think that you should probably go for an easier degree, like Elementary Education. Perhaps you might have enough existing credits to go for a minor in CS, as well. ANY college degree is better than none at all when looking for a job!

EE is a superset of CE. As an EE I can choose my classes so as to have almost the same ones as the CE people, but they can't choose classes to specialize in something that an EE can (telecom for example).

Let me guess...you haven't been outside the classroom much, have you? As was said, EE is a superset of CE - you get a lot more flexibility when looking for jobs with a EE degree. In fact, having attended recruiting fair and interviews every year of college and even since, I have seen MANY more companies that have recruited EEs to the exclusion of CEs than the reverse. Software companies know that there are EEs with more coding knowledge and experience than CS or CE majors. However, a CE degree won't take you very far in analog circuit design or RF.
summer school, disconnect ATOT, get rid of any gaming systems and get your shiit together and pass that course...
That's not even the cost of living here in San Jose, CA. Average pay here is $80K a year per household.Originally posted by: Pepsi90919

As said, personal preference. I know EE gets more jobs than CE. Both the majors' subjects are almost identical and both can take any subjects not needed by their intended major.

No they're not. Where I go, the EEs have it harder and do a lot more stuff than CE.
in terms of being a b!tch for some corporation, yea, EE > CE > CS
but in terms of personal preference, it is simply a matter of what you love.

I'm not.
Just hang in there. Most colleges will allow you to stay as long as they see you passing classes.

It seems to me that you are giving up too quick. I'm a full time student and work around 20 hrs a week (heck some kids manage to work more) and I still got a 3.5 gpa last semester (CS major). I worked my ass off, showed up to class every day, and spent my weekends studying. If a math test was on Monday, I'd study all day Friday, Saturday, and before class on Monday. Same goes for other classes. Is their a particular reason you are failing? I don't think you're stupid because you wouldn't have lasted 3 years so I assume you are a slacker. My advice is to find some motivation. Take the semester off and go work at a factory for $7 an hour. That should do the trick.
