Ah, the joys of being young and thinking everything else isn't important or worth knowing...

I was just as wrong back then as you are now.

This.

My feeling is that if you don't relish taking every possible course outside your major, you deserve to be in college at all. Maybe I'm just an elitist snob, but there you have it.

Nobody wants to talk to a mindless Computer Science drone, nobody wants to date one, and for the most part, nobody wants to hire one either...

I'd rather be a mindless computer science drone, at least I enjoy it and it doesn't bore the heck out of me. At least this is my last GE class and never ever will I take them again whew. I believe college should be about options. Ione wants to take classes outside of his major which make him snore, then let him. But dont force the one who dont want to. I dont see. humities majors taking CS or business classes so why should I take theirs?

If you stamp your feet and throw your arms up in the air you might just be able to sound a bit more like a child...

"mummy mummy it's not fair that I have to do this and others don't and wah wah wah..."

I have. It happens. As far as I know, most humanities programs have a science credit requirement of some sort, though a more usual way to fulfil that requirement is to take something like geology or environmental sciences.

Either your school is unusual, or you don't socialize with enough of your classmates. My first year CS core class was about 80 students split between two groups. Core classes in second year when I was there was about 8 students if I remember correctly. 3/4ths of the students that didn't carry on in CS were mostly other science majors, with the rest arts and drop outs.

Also I don't know why anyone who wants to work in game development doesn't want to get a healthy dose of arts. Literature especially. I ended up rounding out several of my years course loads with English classes when I had a conflict between two science or business classes, and wound up with a minor in English Lit. That in turn drummed up several interesting job offers.

My Philosophy degree was invaluable when I was interviewing. The CS degree is there to keep HR from throwing out your resume right away, but particularly straight out of college (when you don't have a lot to show), it's the other stuff that let's you demonstrate just how valuable a hire you will be...

Aww, those whining about education threads.

Seriously, if you can't "bear" this situation and you waste your time whining about it instead of getting through it, you're into some tough life.

you can't predict when you will get bored of the thing you enjoy now. Don't fuck up your life by being that narrow minded and not able to change in the future.

Yet another BS from szecs, the wise.

After I'd finished my Soft. Eng. degree if I had had the cash I would have loved to have done a degree in Philosophy or Psychology... something a step away from the science and technical stuff I already knew.
