Guess who else is going to UMD

jdlea · 05-24-2006, 10:32 AM

That'd be me. I got the acceptance letter when I was back in MD, so I'm pretty pleased about that. I guess I'll get to meet BSB in person

Thats great! Its the Warpath Takeover. 4 Warpathers are going to UMD this year- vishsskins, dan_snyder69, you, and the BSB. DO you know what you are going to be studying?

A sociology degree is a waste, even if you claim that you aren't just majoring in it b/c it's easy.

BDBohnzie · 05-24-2006, 11:21 AM

as is a History degree...especially when you have no interest in pursuing any kind of teaching or research.

I'm a computer engineering major, but that's not technically my major right now because as I transfer student, I have to take Physics, Chemistry and Calc first. So, after about 2 semesters I'll actually be a computer engineering major. But I'll be taking a lot of the classes I need in that time and I should be done relatively soon since I have my AA in programming and took a couple engineering courses last semester.

Computer engineering just sounds hard. i am finance or accounting and management or something like that. I have to pick my major at orientation. Did you live in Maryland before you went down to Tulane?

dmek25 · 05-24-2006, 03:38 PM

hey jdlea, CONGRATS. and hanging around bsb can boost your social status,big time

dmek25 · 05-24-2006, 03:39 PM

sorry,i forgot to say "the bsb"

BigSKINBauer · 05-24-2006, 03:44 PM

that is very true dmek.

Guess what, the other day I was on the phone and called myself The BSB. That was kinda wierd.

Congrats for getting into UMD.

Computer Engineering is one of those majors that's different from school to school and quite vague. Before you major in it I would advice you to find out exactly what classes are you required to take and what type of jobs students who graduate from UMD land. Also know that people who have computer engineering degree's don't fair well in the software development job market.

p.s. You should all probably major in business/economics with a minor in Chinese.

edit: I'm totally dyslexic.

Yeah, I'm originally from MD. My family moved to Myrtle Beach after Katrina hit New Orleans and I couldn't go to school for a semester. Then, Tulane dropped my degree program. So I'm going to transfer to Maryland.

Not as worthless as a degree in English!

I could see how you could use a foreign language degree in a government job, but majoring in your OWN language must be one of the worst decisions you can make.

Liberal Arts students usually move back into mother's basement also.
