<p>Okay so I saw some interesting comments on here and I think so far that you have all given pretty good advice. However folks, let me tell you some important details about myself right now that I have neglected to mention…</p>
<p>I’m pretty much grasping at straws to figure out what I want to do with my life at the moment. I’m pretty sure that I want to do something that involves the practice of developing new technology so I’ve seriously considered majoring in EE or Comp Sci. Actually to tell the truth I was majoring in comp sci this semester, but I just recently changed it to Info systems after talking with an adviser who told me that I actually should major in IS if making new apps is what I wanted to do. </p>
<p>Another thing that I should mention is that I AM absolutely DESTITUTE at the moment. I mean I am so poor that it’s ridiculous! I have 3 really bad health problems that I suffer with at the moment and can do nothing about it because I can’t afford the health care. One of the health problems is that I have PTSD right now and it literally just BUTCHERS my mental health and no one can help me with it because I can’t afford to get it treated. I need to start making money as fast as humanly possible but I can’t seem to find a decent paying job right now to save my life! It seems like I need a degree to get any job that is even halfway decent right now. </p>
<p>I also don’t have any financial backing or safety net at the moment. I live with my father who is a felon and can’t seem to get a job no matter what he does and my brother who just has a lousy retail job at the moment. I’m often having to pay his bills as well. </p>
<p>In addition, I think that I could hack the math that comes with an engineering discipline, but it just takes so much time out of my schedule to do so that it only allows me to take two classes per semester and I’m having to continually take out loans in order to do this. With an information systems major, I could at least go back to taking full-time classes and getting more pell grant money to survive on as well. Plus, if I wanted to later get a master’s in engineering or whatnot, I could always just take many of the math classes at my old community college and they would be a lot easier. It seems like the math classes that I am taking at the University are much more difficult then they are at a community college. Plus, I could hire a tutor to help me with the math on the weekends with my money that I would be making after I got my degree, which I can’t do right now. After all, the math tutoring center at my current college is only open Monday through Thursday. </p>
<p>So yeah, in the future I think that I may pursue a master’s in EE or CS just not right now because it takes too much time and I need to make money as fast as possible? Can you guys think of a more efficient way that I could complete my goals?</p>
