Stuck on what to do

College Majors Engineering Majors
1

<p>I have to choose between the following:
- Double major in mathematical economics and computer science and then go for PhD in one of the above.
- Master's in computer engineering but no PhD
- Master's in chemical engineering but no PhD</p>

<p>I love math and science but am stuck on which of the three to pursue! I like everything, both theory and applied. I basically love subjects that involve logic and deduction more than memorization. So which would you suggest for me? You can tell by my username that I'm a CS man, but I like all scientific subjects really.</p>

<p>I greatly appreciate your advice!</p>

<p>NP</p>

<p>If you have a serious interest in NP-completeness and other theoretical CS topics, you should pursue a PhD in CS. Thus, choice #1 (mathematical economics and CS) seems best for you.</p>

<p>Agree with yagottabelieve; a PhD in CS from a decent school with a decent theory offering will not only be interesting and fun, but should also set you up nicely for employment either in academia or industry.</p>

<p>Yup. Choice #1…</p>

<p>NPComplete : easy decision : With Chem E you would need PhD - w/o PhD
opportunities are more limited in field.</p>

<p>Computer MS w/o PhD gives more opportunities out there. Just think about it.</p>
