3FY, physics.
3ITA, making databases, webpages and shizzle :p

Introduction to Algorithmic Problem Solving and Computer Concepts. :lol:
It's requirement for my math degree, and it sucks because I've already taken C++, but it wouldn't meet this req for some reason.
We're using Python, which is new to me, and it's very easy. Oh well, pad the GPA I guess.

Python is fun.
Oh, and if I ever got a C++ question, be sure to have me holler you up! :up:

Marketing, "Economy CS", Macroeconomics I, Microeconomics II, Mathematics II (More differantials and optimization stuff), Statistics I, Law (for Economists), cost calculation

Maybe, just may may maybe, I'll pass cost calculation this semester already. (I signed up for the test without having taken the class yet, because it doesn't influence my average if I fail it.)

Can't be assed to retake math I next semester cause it's so packed already. I'll have plenty of time for that later.

What degrees are y'all in for BTW?

"Diplom-Ökonom" here, which is roughly equivalent to a business master. (Or 'economy' master to be more exact, cause we learn all the national and international stuff as well.) It's the more 'traditional' name for the same thing.

So that's like building computer hardware and stuff, right?
I heard Pat Gelsinger (that Intel mastermind guy) studied electrical engineering along with his work for Intel.

I'm thinking about getting my boss to agree to me working part time instead of full time and then picking up a study. In particular one that has to do with language and the effect it has on things.

I still have to do a lot of finding-out-what-exactly though.

It CAN be, although there is a specific Computer Engineering degree now. Electrical Engineering encompasses a LOT of potential careers. Power systems, comtrol systems, comupter hardware, tons of stuff. I plan on doing a concentration in control systems and becoming a robotics engineer.

Not really. :o!
After I finish my PhD I'll be a doctor of philosophy, yes. But I'm not a medical doctor right now, if that's what you mean.

:confused: Is PhD the abbreviation for Doctor of philosophy? I always thought it had something to do with science? What does philosophy have to do with immunology?
Sorry, but this is confusing to me.

I was about to laugh and make jokes about you, but dictionary.com sais you're right :paranoid:

But when i scrolled down it also says Americans are funny people:

<b>PhD:</b> an American doctorate usually based on at least 3 years graduate study and a dissertation; the highest degree awarded by a graduate school.
