Anyone attend college or University?

I???m taking courses that aren't in the curriculum of nursing including a lot of the ochem, inochem, honors calculus, biochem, micro etc??? so I???m prepared on all fronts. But basically think of the classes I have to take in nursing: pharmacology, pathopharmacology, pathophsiology, etc are classes I am going to have to take again in depth in medical school; however, i won't be overwhelmed by the work load like i would be coming in as a fresh fish. The MCAT is a huge hurdle but i am more focused on the gauntlet i have to run after.

I'm glad you're taking my class. Be sure to be on time to Submissions 101 so I can school you proper.

The quantum physics aspect is more related to microprocessor design, yes. However, physics on the macro level will help you get a job programming engines for games and such, which is going to be far more interesting, in my opinion, than designing apps for companies. However, physics could also get you a job developing software for NASA, a building demolition company, making simulators for various situations, etc.

I'm not really into the gaming scene, but I do enjoy making apps. Combining my two favourite subjects, physcics and computers, would be an awesome career. But i don't want to sit and debug code for hours, I don't think I can stand it after a while.

But I'm guessing that's how you would start out though right? as a debugger, and after a while, if your good, then you get promoted into a more creative coding job? of actually writing the code itself?

i guess it would be alright, if I had to work my way up a company starting out debugging. but debugging for the rest of my life would be gruesome.

Largely depends on who you know and if you have serious skillz or not. Hey, you can always change careers if you don't like it though. No biggie. Life doesn't end if you pick the wrong job and have to go back to school.

I think it's everyones best interest to be diverisfied and not hone in on just one skill at a young age just so you have other avenues to take if you find complications in your field or find you hate where you're going. Look at my manager he went to school to be an accountant and now he engineers solar electric systems and is one of the top in the field.

I agree. I could be a PC technician in addition to my current job. I'm a little out of the loop on current hardware, though I could easily get back into it, and I have been reading up on it a bit more. Not the best job in the world, but more options are better no doubt.

that would suck though. I'd probably give up on school if that happened.

"most studies show that the average job-seeker will change careers (not jobs) several times over the course of his or her lifetime."
