Now lets not get too idealistic here. I bet a majority of the theater, child development, and psych majors wish their parents didnt give them that advice.
In my experience the engineering courses have the most math
(PSU)
College Algebra, Trig, Prcalc, Calc I, Calc II, Calc III, Diff Eq, Linear Alg, Stats
(depends on what math level you are at in HS)

I don't know what to recommend, currently I am doing Computer Science and Engineering + Electrical Engineering as I want it all muhaha haha :evil:
So take that, turn it into a business degree/sales and make 5-10 times what an engineer does.
I'm not kidding.

For our school (UC Davis), computer science requires:
cal1, 2, 3, 4,
linear algebra
differential equations
discrete math
abstract math
statistics
in addition to those, i've taken Number theory and also game theory for fun

No, I mean focus your studies away from technical skills and more on people/communication/business/sales skills. Some of the sales guys I know get 75K checks just for closing a deal. This is JUST FOR ONE CONTRACT.
Im a CS and EE graduate. I sure do wish I knew back then what I do now.
The biggest skill one can ever devlop is business knowledge and communication skills. Laugh all you want, but those guys are going to be making serious bank. Engineers are the grunts. Grunts. Don't be a grunt.
Its true. I am an engineering student and I wished I gone business. Most of my professors say the same thing. At least now I know where to point my career goals towards.

Well this makes sense since as you get promoted in your job, things become less technical and become more business oriented.
Just out of curiosity, what jobs did you have right after graduating from college? What jobs did you have up until this "revelation" you had?

I have a BSEE
BSEE, BSCS and BSCS all pay about hte same. Good grades and a co-op or two under your belt before graduation will help you more than chooosing any field.
I currently do software. If I could do it all over again, I'd do the BSEE again, but do atleast a minor in BSCS. Maybe even go dual degree of computer science with the BSEE.
So, what I'm saying is that whatever you pick, I'd recomend not doing a pure CS degree, but going after another degree with a Minor in CS.
