<p>Hey Guys,</p>
<p>Alright so i am a high school junior and i was wondering what type of engineering major would be right for me (or other non-engineering majors).</p>
<pre><code> - I like hands-on work
I want to ACTUALLY use advanced math regularly, i don't want to study all this math in college and then not use it it in my job (i really like math and problem solving)
I would like to work in a major city one day
I also want to make a good amount of money
</code></pre>
<p>I have been considering: </p>
<pre><code> - computer science
aerospace/aeronautical engineering
electrical engineering
</code></pre>
<p>I would like to double-up with a ____________ major and a mathematics major. Is that possible/likely?</p>
<p>I was almost completely set on computer science because i am fascinated with computers and i would be able to work in a city for major companies (google, adobe, cisco, yahoo, etc.) but the more i read up on it i realized that computer scientists/software engineers don't actually use the math they earn in school in their jobs and computer science doesn't include much hands-on work like aerospace/mechanical/electrical engineering. I was also really considering aerospace engineering because i heard it is one of the most math extensive engineering types and includes a lot of hands-on work but i wont be able to work in a major city (at least i think). I have also heard that electrical engineering uses a lot of math. </p>
<p>I colleges that interest me are harvard, princeton, stanford, notre dame, vanderbilt, duke, University of Pennsylvania.</p>
<p>Assuming i get into all these schools, what college should i go to and what should i major in based on the information i gave you (sorry for being so long haha) Thanks in advance guys!</p>
<p>*Other suggestions on colleges with strong engineering programs, and/or majors are greatly appreciated</p>
