<p>I will be attending the University of Cincinnati in about three weeks. I'm starting off in the exploratory program and am hoping to find some closure in this forum.</p>
<p>Math and science were my favorite classes in school. I did well in almost all of my classes except my foreign language classes (spanish). I also played the trumpet all throughout high school in the concert (3 years), jazz (4 years), and marching band (2 years). As well as a year in the orchestra. Towards the end of my sophomore year I received first chair in each so I got bored of it which is why I stopped some of the bands. I had thought about majoring in performance but that option is long gone due to the time missed practicing.</p>
<p>Current majors I'm interested in:
Engineering Bachelors, 5 years (Computer, Electrical, and Mechanical) - These majors interest me because I love finding out how stuff works. At the same time I like to work with my hands and not just put things on paper.
Electronic Media Bachelors, 4 years - This major recently attracted me as I think my past experience with music could help me. I don't have an interest in working with radio stations which is a job this major could get me.</p>
<p>Money is important to me as it defines the lifestyle I'll live and I have hobbies that are quite expensive (playing the guitar/collecting them, building computers, and golfing). But I'd also like to pick a major that I'm interested in so I need to find a balance.</p>
<p>Any opinions and/or recommendations would be great.</p>
