m21sniper, for the purposes of this topic, ie., pursuing Engineering, you acknowledged that it is necessary to go on in school. OK-you apparently think college is overrated/not worth it; that's fine...but it doesn't answer my question..
I am not asking where I can go to make the most money. The answer to that is actually not hard.
I am asking if anyone went on to get another bachelor's degree (in anything), because you can't really go into a graduate level Engineering program or something that requires those basic undergrad classes in Math and science.
Right now, I am even thinking about completing a minor in math (Advanced Linear Algebra, Abstract Alg., Numerical and Real Analysis, etc.), as lots of more advanced math is fundamental for any program in physics, Engineering, Computer Science or Economics.
Rightly or wrongly, I have always made it a point to take the classes that other smart people recommended to me as being valuable to their education as people, and not just to complete a degree.
Next question: Which Engineering discipline? Civil, Electrical, Nuclear, Chemical, Mechanical, Geological, Materials Science...? Pros and cons. I know what I like and there is a fair amount of overlap between a few of them (e.g., geological/fluids from M.E., Materials and any other Engr. discipline, Nuclear and ElectricalE, etc.). Where do you think the most new advancements will be found and in demand in the next 20 years? I am thinking Nuclear.
What Math/Science classes did you find MOST helpful, regardless of particular "major" discipline?
