Learning computing skills is of course very important. The question is on the value of a CS degree vs. learning on your own.

>EE is CS plus physics, math, and engineering
agreed.
>>
>>47633842

No. It's mathematics. Someone who actually works in CS devises algorithms and so on, which is pure math.

Most CS students are actually software engineers / software developers / programmers / code monkeys, though, which are all things I would consider engineering (or mindless office work for the code monkeys).

Go to IC design if you have the talent. Try working on arm systems. Major fucking money to be made, so much the autists on here won't believe it.

>mechatronics

Looks pretty cool. Most of the job openings Ive seen revolve around industrial usage though. I would like to work more towards consumer products so I can walk into a store and say "yep I fucking made that possible"

>>47634090

Yep. Currently slated to start a product engineering role at a major semiconductor company in May. They write their own test code for the machines to test their circuits so it should be pretty nice.
>>
>>47634129
Idk where you are located but here in California engineers who know their shit when it comes to arm are in heavy demand. I got a coworker who's been headhunted like 3 times in the last 5 years before he ended up with us. Everyone he just gets offered more money. There's always work too.

Computer, electrical, and software engineers only say CompSci is a dead end because they are ass ravaged.
While they studied excessively at school, CS guys got to fuck all the rare girls.
And then everyone ended up with the same job, except they got no pussy.

Yea I mean hardware design. Mad money Bro. I mean MAD MONEY....BRO!! Turn around happens sometimes though. When one company doesn't want you anymore there is another 100 companies right around the corner that will take you and pay you more. You have to have the talent though. I'm looking to retire early and sail around the world with my bitch and come back when I'm 40 and pump a couple kids in her while I unretire. MAD MONEY BRO! That's all I'm gonna say.

Help me out /g/. I was set on computer science (in second semester college now) but all this CS is dead threads are kind of making me doubt CS. plus im bad at math. Any of you know a degree that involves programming (want to be a code monkey) and has little to no math involved?
