University studies

[Guest WM guy]

Hi friends! Well,next year i'm starting university. I just wanted to have your advices about which subject to choose.I now do computing,physics,mathematics,english and french. I want to do a course which is concerned with computers(i like technology),where i will get lots of money in the future.I like programming.(writing database progs for shops,pharmacy,etc).

[Guest WM guy]

I forgot to mention that i fear i may not understand anything about programming at university level.Though i like programming,i get frustrated when i make an error and my program becomes buggy.

Media ?? Or Business Studies should leave you many oppertunities if combined with ICT ;)

I don't think so.....

Try Engineering (communications) that's where the money is ;)

Ah,communications engineer?!That sounds good!But is it Beng in what??What's the approximate cost?Less than £1000

[Guest WM guy]

Sorry,i mean £10,000...Where's the cheapest good university in london where i can do communications engineering?

Heh, cheap and London don't go together ;)

Manchester is good for engineering. The only others i can think of off the top of my head are London based, Imperial, Brunel etc, but you'll pay a heafty premium to live in the city. I'm at Surrey, another good uni for engineering but an expensive area to live in...

Well my particular major is going to be in Philosophy and metaphysics along with some nueroscience and behavior minors. they kinda incorperate a new way to think of spirituality and helping ot make mankind a more productive and egoless race.. thats just me...

I'm in computing (never went to uni though).

Can I be extremely blunt.

Computing and services are going down the pan in the long term (thanks to Globalisation - offshoring to cheap countries).

Stay clear of Media studies - waste of time.

If you want a career for the money, and I mean GOOD money, go for sciences (chemist, biologist, engineering, err minds gone blank etc)

If you want a job in computing, be commited to be the VERY best. Programming wise, C, Java, are good basis, learning a database language would be good, SQL, MYSQL, Oracle (very in demand).

As we have a big banking industry in the UK (at the moment), technologies like Firewall, Security, Networking are sought (but for how long?) Cisco networks, UNIX Admin/security and Firewall technologies would be good to learn.

All depends where your heart lies and which you think you'd enjoy.

Well I just started.. and I am doing physics.... I like it and apparently you can do a lot with it although I just wanna do more and more phyics! ;)

(talking of starting uni i have just been playing wiv my new(2nd hand) varioII and have encountered a small prob :D http://www.modaco.com/Connecting-WPA-RADIU...tml#entry844655

Fair play. Not enough people are doing sciences (i.e. proper degrees - not this noddy media rubbish) - that's where the dough will be I believe.

Dam right... media studies... seriously what use is media studies to advance society at all, in my opinion all the media does is spread ideas that play to their advantage!
