I'm thinking more and more about majors, and I'm thinking about doing some sort of computer science degree, but with some sort of minor. Maybe econ or something along those lines. Any ideas as to what to look into. No idea what I'm getting into, would like to inquire from you kind sirs~

Just installed debian ^^ Favorite linux OS i've used so far. Any advice for just plain useful programs for linux? I'm having a hard time finding good apps to d/l. Still, quite awesome, and the boot time is insane.

On Ladder I'm doing ok, kicking some people, getting kicked by others. Terran is fun, but can be unforgiving against zerg when going tank marine. I've been doing that iechoic tvt build with some success, although damn marauder 3 rax are hard to stop

Finally made a video on why incontrol can charge an arm and a leg for lessons.

Essentially its supply and demand. Supply is limited and therefore prices go up =/

CS rocks!

Do. CS. You can really do amazing things with computers, and they are only becoming more ingrained in our society, good to know how to program them. I'd say go with bio (medicine) or computers. Do you code in you spare time, currently?

computer science is great and all, but finding a job in this economy is a pain in the ass. who knows what it will be like in 4 years. my advice is to do what you want and to be happy, but also try to specialize in an area. biomedical programming is big right now, and its gonna be even bigger in the future. also, find plenty of internships and stuff, it'll help you get a job later. DO NOT get a degree and think that alone will be enough to help get you a job.

I don't. All this biomedical stuff is getting inflated IMO. 90 percent of my talented classmates are going into it o.o

Yeah, I think the way prices are working it's actually monopolistic, and incontrol is trying to be at socially optimal cost, which is high :/

CS is nice but everybody can do basic IT work nowadays (and you'd be competing on the job market against tons of Chinese and Indians), so you'd have to distinguish yourself by either being an entrepreneur (coming up a great idea and designing the software architecture) or specializing in some specific field.

With a Physics major however, everybody thinks you can do anything because we're Gods. (physics majors also have the 2nd best LSAT scores, inferior only to math majors, but screw those guys!!!)

Oh except the financial derivatives thing, physics majors fucked that up LOL

Q.E.D.

+ Show Spoiler +
i actually dont think that highly of physics majors but i like to emulate the arrogance that we tend to have

CS should lead you into software engineering, not IT, and good software engineers are ridiculously hard to find (ask anyone who's trying to hire one). Competition as a developer is a complete joke if you aren't terrible as the vast majority are.
