amsteel Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Calc I&II are pretty much the same class. If I remember correctly, Calc III is more like geometry, so it requires a less analytical and a more physical/spatial mindset. And then Differential Equations is basically brain rape. If you want to be employed for a long time go into Civil or Environmental engineering. President B-Rock is dropping a ton of federal funding into large infrastructure projects (Think: bridges, roads, levees, dams, etc) so there will be jobs in that field. Plus there's a huge job market now for cleaning up the messes people have made in the environment over the last 30 years, so any sort of water scientist or chemical remediation specialist has it made. Also, anything that has to do with old people. Someone is gonna need to take care of our dying parents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goraiders Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 calc 1 is derivatives, 2 is integrals, 3 is differential equations mostly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dante3000 Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 Wrong answer! Degrees are for losers. Go get a job. By the time your fancy college educated asshole friends are out, you'll be four years further and that much closer to retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buddhistzombie Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 get a psych or socialology degree . . . you can do anything with either of these degrees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akross Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Which is really easy. I can't see why people think it sucks so much, granted I've only taken Calc 1. If you can handle calc 1, the next two classes aren't impossible, just more challenging, but they all build on the previous class...including pre-calc (algebra and trig). Differential equations utilize most of the skills you learn in the first two semesters, so it's not too crazy. In fact, I personally found calc 3 to be a tad easier than calc 2, mostly because you aren't doing anything too new...multi-variable differentiation/integration is manageable. I am an electrical engineering student, so be lucky you don't have to take circuits and all that jazz...talk about fun! High five fellow electrical enginerd! I am never setting foot back in school. Some of my co-workers are doing an in-house MBA program, but it isn't worth it to me. I can slide into a management position without it. Circuits was fun shit man, Antenna Theory was awesome stuff. Unrelated, here is a more recent list of top paying degrees: http://money.cnn.com/2009/07/24/news/economy/highest_starting_salaries/index.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
