What would you study?

category: general [glöplog]
I will start studying at a university next summer. I am thinking about becoming a game/demo-coder. Does it earn a lot of money? What should I study? Is computer science ok, or should I rather take computer engineering?

My mother says I should study law or biz admin.. maybe thatz better because I heard you earn a lot of money!!

I'm doing an HND in forklift-truck driving. It's not much, but it pays the bills.

Undefined humanistc subjects concerning "the digital": Best for talking over people's heads and become regarded as a wiz.

according to your quote People who study CS because they think it equals programming and linux hacking and makes good money.:
With CS you cannot hack better but more profoundly.. :-)
And as of "lota money": here in switzerland, the earning dropped deep. About one or two years ago the companys were happy to have some fresh students. Nowadays you hardly get a job as CS..

good CS specialists get good job in Lithuania, others go to work in the market. and it is terrible situation with gamedev. you can earn more money by programming webapps and so on, than programming games (but webapps sucks:)

on the contrary if you are a girl you SHOULD go to a Computer Science school or uni : you will always find a nerd to make your work at your place and out of thousands of nerds you are likely to find a nice caring handsome one ;)

if you are a man or a woman go sure to not have a computer nerd as boy/girlfriend. I suppose always talking about computer takes you way off real life.. so better search your girlfriend outside your departement..

Whatever happened to studying things you [censored] WANT to instead of [censored] trying to [censored] make money all the [censored] time?
Tuition?

No, but money=respect .. and who wants to live as unimportant lowlife? I can't get why anybody would want to sacrifice his life to research atoms or philosophy

Dude, I am SO going to the bank to cash in my respect.
I am going to study physics.
Not just because it interests me the most, but also because there are many job opportunites related to physics, and I could still become a computer scientist if I should change my mind.
