Would a major in electrical engineering be good for someone thinking about doing a tech start up?
I'd really like to design FOSS hardware

No, do comp eng or math/finance

The majority of EE action happens in SE Asia these days. I agree with the other poster about CS/Math being more suitable for our "post manufacturing" economy (assuming you live in the West).

If you want to start a software tech startup (like in sillicon valley) I would go with compsci, if you like hardware (sensors, electrical circuits, embedded systems) with a bit of programming, go for EE (like myself, well mechatronics actually).
It doesn't really matter what you study, you can all begin a business. The succes rate of businesses isn't decided by what you study, imo your own abillity and level of skills are more important.

comp sci is shit, do software engineering, you learn how to program ACTUAL programs.

Well the thing is, even with the proper software, a lot of the hardware these days is literally incapable of closing those backdoors. Thats what I'm interested in. I'd like to produce and sell open source HARDWARE.
That being said, I know nothing of comp eng or EE, but do know CS wouldn't contain everything I'd need to know.

Hardware companies rarely get off the ground, only massive companies can compete.
What idea can you come up with that will beat all the fags at google, ibm etc that gradauted top of MIT as well as all the massive funding.
If you want to do start up stuff, software side is much MUCH more likely to be able to succeed. But, if you really want to learn about hardware, EE or CE are your best bet.
I'm in CE, I have like 3 programming classes and the rest are electrical engineering/hardware stuff.

I mean I'm not expecting to b th next Intel, but do you predict the income would b at least livable if I advertised well? (i.e spammed the chans?)

Wtf open source hardware are you talking about?

>>1293114
well what can you design that will out compete the capital and the manpower of Intel, of Google of IBM?
Then, how are you going to produce it?
