School of Mines and Technology

[Ben.ak56]

I'm not sure what area of Technology I want to go in, I love games and building computers and technology in general so I have been looking into a Bachelors Degree in Computer Science at the School of Mines and Technology.


Is this a wise choice; will I be able to adjust my field of interest after I graduate or does a Computer Science Degree limit your options, what if I want to into Networking after school, will it be hard to do with that kind of a degree.

my other options were a tech degree in systems administration.

Computer Science is more programming and whatnot, as much as I love doing what you also do, to do Computer Science you have to learn a couple of languages of programming.

If you like Media and stuff like that Computational Media.


Even the Information Technology is the way to go

^ The worst part about Computer Science is assembly language. The problem is that you have to learn it with no way around. The rest is very heavily C++ based which is luckily my favourite language.

I wouldn't mind learning assembly as it's used heavily in firmware, an it would help me write a better driver for my ipod touch's wireless card into permisquos mode an monitor mode for some nice mobile fun.
