Degree path

So don't be a faggot, actually learn something, and then build missile guidance systems.

I'm just telling you, from personal experience, the easiest way to get a job doing defense work

>trust me, i read a few pop-sci blogs so i know what im talking about

What school would admit a math undergrad into an engineering postgrad program? How would that work?

Why not do CE or EE with emphasis on C?
> tbqh I've always wanted to make a homemade guided rocket. I just don't have the skill set yet.

It happens. One professor in my department likes to recruit math and physics undergrads. They spend the first two years taking undergrad engineering courses .

You do know I'm still going to school, and don't even have a bs, which is why I made this thread, right? I'm obviously not employed in any kind of scientific field.

Because EEs are less well paid and less in demand than computer programmers. Even the EE stuff is reaching a level of complexity that they should be using the tools from programming to manage it, but the discipline is just behind the times.

The trend in electronics is to make things more and more digital and push the work that would have previously been done in analog into the some sort of processing system(often an FPGA or ASIC). But that means programmers are more critical to the project than EE's. (Since digital design is pretty easy)

>. They spend the first two years taking undergrad engineering courses
I see, so that's how it would work.

Lmao. You are only "considering" pursuing a degree so how do you know you hate computer science classes? Programming 101 isn't representative of the broader curriculum, faggot. Anyway, doing an undergrad in math and then going for engineering is dumb. One - if you don't get into grad school, you have a useless degree and you'll end up teaching high school algebra, and two - you can learn the most important maths as an engineering major, but not vice-versa. Let's be frank, anyway, though - you're never ever going to be leading a research lab on a DARPA project, and there's a significant chance you'll not even finish undergrad, let alone a PHD. Go take a statistics course and then come back and let me know just how low that chance is, faggot ass bitch.

> since digital design is easy
So is programing. All I care about is being able to get a degree that's hands on and not one that I can go to library and read about in my spare time.
Why not get a degree in CE?
