Well, I failed out of Engineering and didn't want to bother with CS since it's impacted at cal poly pomona. I decided to just slowly kill myself and I heard accounting is good at that. Does CPP have a good accounting program? Here's the curriculum: https://www.cpp.edu/~cba/accounting/curriculum/course-descriptions.shtml
I was thinking of CIS, but I heard that the jobs that CIS offers are either taken by engineers, CS majors, or just outsourced. How's the accounting job market? I don't care about working with the "big 4" or whatever the number is. I just want a job that pays 50~k a year so that I can at least live comfy by myself.

I'm an ex accounting and finance recruiter and would recommend it if you like being depressed and having no meaning in life. Its a shit career path to be honest and doesn't pay amazing but around average have you thought about digital marketing

>Well, I failed out of Engineering
Literally happened to me this week as well.
I contemplate seppuku when I see my engineering friends that are doing well.
I feel your pain.

acct is basically as boring as finance. I'm doing both and long for death. Hopefully I get a job. If you like it there is definitely money to be made.
The biggest problem is everyone I talked to so far seems to want further accreditation while you work for them, CPA and other shit. Grad programs that go for 18 months.
Im a useless cunt with moderate intelligence, If you can read and understand and apply boring shit you can do accounting.
The trick is to not long for death lol.

Why did you guys fail out of engineering and what type was it?
I'm going to be a freshman in EE next year.

Mechanical and aerospace.
My school will kick you out of the engineering college if you don't maintain a 2.8 GPA.
I was a B student so normally at a 3.0, I got all C's for two semesters which put me on academic probation.
Currently two B's and a C for this semester.
Just messed up on my last exam so mathematically I'm getting booted at the end of this semester.

Why do they kick you out? Don't they want your shekels?

Couldn't handle intro to electrical engineering and physics, so I realized at that moment that it would just get harder, so I didn't bother wasting my time. Furthermore, I didn't enjoy learning the material. Funny thing is that I went up to differential equations in Maths.

Computer engineering was the major.

Lmao Ryan is that you? Don't worry, when I eventually fuck up at CS I'll go into accounting too :^)

What university? Just curious.

Physics is huge in any engineering discipline. If you're not good at it now you'll really need to put in the time to get good at it once you're in university.
I learned the hard way.

No it is not. For Electrical Engineering you'll have three or so pure physics classes - something like intro to modern physics, statics and dynamics (as a common course), and solid state physics. Your electrical engineering courses will not involve physics theory much, more like - apply this formula. Electromagnetics will have some derivations but again, its applied, not pure physics. So relax, look up "Physics for Scientists and Engineers" by Serway/Jewett and youll be good to go.
