The good thing about Computer Engineering/Science or Electronic Engineering is that you don't need a PhD to get a good job.
A class I'm taking at the moment is referred to as computer science going back to Word, Excel, Access, and Powerpoint. It is a good deal that you can get a good paying job when using those programs, but it's as boring as hell to work with. [/QUOTE]Well you can tell whoever named THAT computer science that they are an idiot [img]tongue.gif[/img] Those are the most basic basic computer skills. Computer science is not only programming but programming language design, writing assembler, compiler engineering, software engineering, networking (not the physical layer). Artificial intelligence like neural nets, genetic algorithms etc. THAT'S computer science.
