10:48 really isn't the time to be mulling over the options of taking my chances with my current CS path, pulling magic out of my ass and going into engineering at the last minute

How are your math abilities/interests? CS is all discrete/number theory/graph theory and all the engineering I've seen is calculus and differential equations.

I hate this perspective

Why does pop-punk sound like it's made for teenagers? Why be so condescending about it?

Do you not agree that certain music appeal more to certain demographics?

Pop-punk is specifically designed for teenagers that are still developing a sense of what it is to have romantic feelings, or suffering the fallout from such things. The lyrical content usually hasn't matured much past that.

The instrumentation is simple, energetic and repetitive which also appeals to the shorter attention spans of the youth.

It's not a bad thing. Teenagers need music too and it can help their development but at some point tastes should mature.

I was just shocked by how much things have stayed exactly the same after all this time. And it's really weird to hear something so nasal from a 44 year old man.

I tend to prefer bands that evolve their sound album after album.

Yep. CS will usually be discrete, statistics, and some calculus. Engineering will be all of that plus heavy physics, differential equations, and more.

Heheh

I don't agree

This is also hugely overgeneralizing since different bands you could call "pop punk" are quite a bit different from eachother

Great example of why I absolutely hate judging people based on their musical tastes. Leave it alone and let people listen to music that they enjoy.

Do you have a career picked out that would require a computer engineering degree, or are you more just interested in the learning aspect?
Either reason is fine for choosing engineering. One of my good friends is in the engineering course simply because he wants to learn those things that he couldn't teach himself.
It's extremely rigorous though, so be prepared for multiple 19+ credit semesters and all of your time being spent on homework.

The only real problem is that I'm too deep into my CS degree so I may as well see this through before deciding on anything else. CS seems more programming-heavy than the others which fit my other goal of having a degree useful for a well-paying job while also being able to program for video games.

I picked up a minor in CS on my math degree because I only discovered in third year that I loved it.


Oops, double post.

I could feasibly do the opposite (minor in math) without much extra effort as far as taking extra math courses goes. But I'm already pretty badly behind schedule in college so I'll leave it as is for now. I only really need 2 more math classes after this.

The pain of accomplishment.


And on that music argument...I'm gonna side with pro-Pop Punk. It's a nice genre that I can find something in regardless of whether I want music to relax to or productivity music.

It wouldn't have mattered what genre your comment was related to. My reply would have been the same. Just don't judge people based on their musical tastes. It's an asshole thing to do.

That's cool. I just can't relate to that anymore.

I grew up with bands like green day, mxpx, new found glory etc so I understand the appeal. I just can't hang with it these days

A very large portion of it isn't even romance stuff, off the top of my head I can think of songs about mental health, death, being poor, social issues like sexism and racism, all the writer's friends being successful while they've got a shitty job because they're dedicated to the band, and being scared of skateboarding in your 20s because you might hurt yourself and drinking to counteract it >_>
