I'd go with something to atleast get on your feet, something that you like. If its programming, then i would atleast try to understand the fundamentals of other languages (such as knowing about loops, statements, data types, etc), then onto game design. I graduated with a degree in Software Applications Programming. I might not want to code just yet. Right now, im trying to get a Programming Analyst or IT Specialist position working for the state govt. If i get it, then i'll be happy since im doing the work they do anyway at a lower level. It will give me more experience to better aim for the job i want in the future. Or i just may stay on with the govt for the rest of my life (if i dont get laid off again :X ).
I was in the same position you were rag when i graduated highschool, didnt know what i wanted to do and i had to make some decisions. Since i knew a lot about computers, i chose programming (dropped out of one college and went to another). Its a tough decision to make, it can cost money and time and you might eventually change your mind and want to do something else. Computers sounds like a good start in my opinion.

What math courses have you taken so far? If you have finished all of the engineering calculus and differential equations courses in college and still like it - go for it, but many who like math in high school get into Cal 1 in college and then hate it. (I had to complete them all for my engineering degree, but now work in Aerospace Engineering on the F-16 fighter.)
As for space travel, currently you either have to be a really good military pilot with a masters or a flight specialist with at least one Ph.D., more likely two.
As for computer engineering, graphics, game design etc ... well I dont know much about it except for the good courses in computer science at my college were senior level or higher. I mean, why do they have the first graphics course as a senior????
Whatever you decide to do, it is usually very easy to switch majors within the same school while you are in your first year or two without adding extra semesters. Try to get the core requirements such as english and arts classes out of the way while taking courses in what interests you and carry on that way until you decide one of the other.
Good luck |
I think you might consider reading Shock's answer, again. Very informative...
