Hey Guys,
WOW, so I am really into a physics forum! :D
Well, a brief introduction first so you can understand my case:
I am student who just finished high school who wanted to get into medicine school but didn't get enough grades to it (we have it by percentages and I was .75% lower than required)
I am from Egypt, it is different here from USA and UK. We don't have Science majors and biology majors.
We have medicine, engineering, pharmacy, computer science, business studies, applied arts and political science.
I am not inclined into pharmacy (Hate too much chemistry), business studies or applied arts (sucks at drawing anything also I have color blindness green/brown) and political science isn't so well-paid career option for me here in Egypt.
I always hated maths, chemistry and physics (Yep) but I always got A* in them (I was an IGCSE student)
I got A* in Chemistry O-Level, Physics O-Level, Maths O-Level, Maths AS-Level
and a B in Chemistry AS and Maths A2-Level (more advanced than AS).
I hate them maybe because most of my teachers sucked as in the last time I took maths, I was taught by an excellent professor who truly made me love maths (it was the first time).
I absolutely loves biology, I got A* in Biology O-Level, AS-Level and A2 Level.
What I mean is, if you threw me a subject, I will endure hell and ultimately get along with it while hating it.
I study very short hours (1-3 hours per day while taking a day off per week) and surprisingly I get high grades which is a good thing which I won't complain.
I am moved by the money, I am chasing financial freedom at young age, I don't want to be a 9-5 slave. I want to move between projects. Make a good chunk of money and take 2-3 months off and go make another project and so on.
I even became internet marketer when I was only 13 years old, I made websites and wrote ebooks and sold them. but nothing fancy, I made till now like $1,500-$2,000 in those five years (I am 18) so it is nothing great but it was a hobby for me, I loved learning and teaching people and changing their lives while making money in the process.
I love computer and internet, if you can sum my passion in life, it would be: biology, computer and internet, changing people's life for the better.
that's why I am into CE and CS. I want to learn how to program softwares and make video games also I would love to know things about robots and creating complex stuff out of no where.
Also I know that CE has a higher pay rate I guess.
What I want to know is:
1) Can I take Computer Engineering major while getting a CS minor? and will that mean I will take in that CS minor programming or designing or what exactly? (I want programming and video gaming)
2) I am chasing money, I believe if I have financial freedom (not security) then I will be able to function better and become a better man. What have the *hypothetically* better income probability? and which one of them support the project-based jobs not the 9-5 slave job? (I really don't intend to offense anyone, so I am sorry in advance if any of my talking upsets you)
3) What exactly do I take in CE? and does I choose routes in CE? or is there a specific courses that I take? and same question to CS.( Do I choose programming, graphics,..etc or do I take them all)
I hope you got my point and thank you for advance if you took time to help me, I know I asked questions which may take lots of time to respond to.
Regards,
Mohamed
