<p>Hello all,
I am currently caught in between which Major I should pursue. Here is some background information.
Currently I am at University of Texas-Austin, and my best friend of 10 years and I are planning on starting a Robotics Company. Mainly the future side of robotics, like human-robotic relations, AI, design and programming of robots, and basically anything you might see in your futuristic T.V. shows. (I know far stretch, save the negative pep talk) Anyways, his plans are to go into EE with a focus on Computer Engineering. My focus is undetermined at this point, mainly because I am not sure which major (EE, CS, CE, ME) would benefit not only our plans, but future job security as well.(Gotta have a back up as a entrepreneur)
now the background on my personality: Since pretty far back I have always had a love with Computers and Technology. Just the thought of building and designing cool and fun things is a great feeling. I used to take apart remote controls to see the chips, and put them back together. I have built personally 3 computers, which I enjoy doing. Its like a challenge to me. Also I am pretty well known as the guy who can fix most of your technological problems, like computer issues, tv issues, anything. I've always considered myself a hands on learner, or simply put I like seeing what I'm doing, and building; but building in the sense of technology. Software has interested me, more in the sense of seeing and creating cool websites, or apps, or even programming different things. Though I have never been one to 100% enjoy sitting for 8 plus hours coding without seeing a result,(if you know what I mean.) I have no problem coding, but building is a more see what your doing kind of thing to me.
I know what each major entails, I've done research on them more, weighed out pros and cons. I am pretty much just looking for some feedback based off of what I have listed above, and based off which one would not only be more suitable for Robotics, but also for future job outlook. I love all of the majors I listed, and I couldn't go wrong with any of them in my eyes; but quadruple majoring would strike me dead at 25, so I need to figure out the best route to go!
Thanks for taking the time to reply! </p>
<p>I think you should have some resources at college to help you. See what robotics people there are doing. Is there a club to join? I don’t think anyone on a forum will be able to any better. After all you say you already know everything there is to know about the majors. But this isn’t an admissions question, you should visit the College Majors forum. There is one for Engineering and another for math/CS though.</p>
<p>There is also a Math/CS forum you can ask on.</p>
<p>Thanks! I moved it over there</p>
