Umm. I guess same thing...
But not touching networking or security as I suck at those. I gotta job search while I'm traveling as I need a real job in December... lets hope the economy picks up. I would love a software engineering job that pays the average salery over here... that's about all I can say atm.

I would like to meet you since you're a gamer. Lol. But seriously, I need friends.
suck at those? Huh? lol. But you can learn it! That's what college is for, to learn.
Security makes a lot of money! I've heard you can make about 75k-200k+ a year! It's hard to reach 200k, though. ^^
But software engineering is great.

Im going to college for the same thing you are, Im suppose to start august 24, but will see, although i didn't get any of the classes i wanted(Classes i didn't want, but chose---->Astronomy, Into to business, and math) when Intro to Computer Programming starts, I'm gonna start that, I here Computer Engineers make good money, They were on (I forget) top salaries in US, but you don't want to be making games/fixing computers as your "Job" I know a guy who works for blizzard, and he switches between a computer repair "shop" and that, i guess he gets fired or whatever from blizzard because they don't need him after there done finishing up a game, so he goes to this Computer repair shop in my town, and works there, he says it isn't good, not only that but one of my dads friends is one of those computer repair people, he came in and fixed my dads comp at his work, and he too said it's low paying job, Not enough.
**Also i'd like to add, that this is what i've heard from those people, so not everyone that has those jobs may be in the same situation.**

I've got it good, really. I live in the state least affected by job layoffs and happens to also be the second largest state for Game Development jobs (California's the largest).
Here's the deal. If you are good with math, and like a job with a challenge, aka problem solving, you may enjoy a career in computer science, aka programming. Programmers are always needed, as computer systems are always changing, especially with larger companies that employ their own, unique server architecture that requires custom programs.

Bioengineering.
Something in the area of metabolic engineering. But I don't know if I have the patience to wait 10+ years before my team comes up with a modified organism that was worth the investment/effort.
If that fails, I can always find a job in chemical engineering. Not my favorite, but I guess I could do it.
I'm also about to graduate...

ya thats what I'm going into(Computer Programing), although I'm interested in that Security one aswell, googling, in the meantime, anyone know any info on security?

Ahhhh I hate Computer Science!!! One of the reasons I went from a Computer & Systems Engineer to a Biomedial Engineer. (I go to a really good engineering school in NY).
I like to problem solve and such, but for some reason I found programming to be boring and annoying.
I was actually going into the security department as a C&S Engineer. Like I said though, I found out I hated Comp Sci.

Software engineering is always high in demand and very high paying (80k+). Can be that by majoring in computer science or anything like that. Im most likely majoring in that. You have to take alot of math for it but you dont have to LIKE math, my counselor was telling us that. If you dont like math, but u like computers, just try to push through the math.
Information and Security Systems sounds very fun also. Especially after my university told me about the contest they have where all the students are on computers when they get "hacked" and they have to stop the hackers. Then be attacked even harder, and harder. Sounds fun as hell haha. Ethical hacking FTW.
If its not either of those im prolly just gonna go into video production and special effect design. Because i love dat stuff.
