If you consider calculus "no real math", then I must bow to your superior mental abilities. :eek:

I was just kidding around. We always poke fun at the CS majors b/c they don't have to take as much math as we do.

Mechanical Engineering. Its about as hard as it gets but I don't see myself doing anything else.

I kinda freak myself out sometimes when somehow i get through nasty problems with ease, but then a nastier problem comes along to put me back where I belong, oh boy it never ends.

Doubling in English and Communications. I find comm really interesting, English still but less so. Partly because comm is much easier than English for me, and less time consuming. I really don't think I'd want to switch, although there are other areas like psych and linguistics that I find interesting.

My degrees technically say Bachelor's of Business Administration and Associates in Business Management.

My major and minor, though, were Accounting (hence my screen name) and Hotel/Restaurant Management.

Currently, I am working on my Bachelor's in Computer Science.

***edit*** Accounting is boring, Good money, but boring; haven't applied the Hotel/Restaurant Management yet. ***end edit***

Computer Science with my applications emphasis area (9 credit hours of a minor) soon to be in art. So far, I'm happy enough with what all we're doing and what I'm learning. It's hard, but it's what I like, so I've stuck with it.

After 2 years of formal post secondary school education I spurned the establishment and have done as well, or better, than most college grads. I have had the freedom of not being constrained by the teachings of people who could never make it in the real world.

Computer Science - love it, except the debugging part :|



<< Math? There's no real math in computer science. >>



I'm not sure about your school, but I'm at UT Austin and if you do the Bachelor of Science in CS like I am, then you take enough math to automatically receive a minor...

I majored in psychobiology. It was an interesting major and it prepared me for grad school.
