<p>Right now I have decided in majoring in Mathematics at Steven's Institute of Technology. I thought it would be a good major because it was something I was interested in and it would leave a lot of option open in terms of jobs. But after hearing how difficult it is and how different the math is in comparison to high school math I am not too sure. I was also debating in majoring in some type of engineering. I was thinking environmental engineering since that seems pretty interesting but I'm not too sure. Math is something I did not mind doing during high school. I need some ideas?</p>
<p>You are right, even AP Calculus BC math pales in comparison to a traditional Math major curriculum. However, don't discount it just due to the difficulty, if you have excelled in Math in highschool there is a good chance that you will suceed in college.</p>
<p>I can't really make the decision for you but what are you interested in?</p>
<p>Building buildings? Making planes? Being a doctor?</p>
<p>haha you know. I wish I knew. I'm not even sure what I am interested in. I enjoy music, I played the trumpet for my high school and I also play the classical guitar.. I like sports. In regards to school subjects the subject I would not mind doing in regards to the curriculum was math. But you know, I don't know what I want to do; I don't really have any aspirations. That was one of the reasons I chose math because It would leave many options open while I would be able to do something that would be mildly interesting.</p>
<p>Before rushing off and deciding on a major I would step back and relax a moment. Figure out what you want in a career first. Do you want something challenging? Something not a lot of people do? Something that pays well? Engineering definitely falls into those categories.</p>
<p>As for math in college...if you did well in high school math you will probably do well in college. But trust me even the AP Calc BC test hardly puts a dent into what you're gonna go through in college, if you major in math or engineering. My first year in software engineering was quite an enlightening experience.</p>
<p>You might find something in electrical or computer engineering. They both involve lots of math and could be applied to music with computers, recording equipment, or maybe even equipment such as scoreboards.</p>
<p>Hmm electrical engineering sounds like a possibility. I guess I should not rush this but if there are any other idea out there it is appreciated. Thanks for the help guys.</p>
<p>A lot of job options with a mathematics degree? Um ok...</p>
