I'm a CS major working towards my BS. I don't want

Teach.

But why the fuck are you studying computer science if you don't want to do computer science?

networking, deployment of software, general maintenance is always needed if you like that shit.

I dunno about OS schools but here we part at two on both CS and engineering. You either start making shit or you start with maintenance. From my class we all parted in that way so many are welll making shit like me or are typical network engineers and what not

>if you don't want to do computer science?
I do want to do computer science. I just don't want to build lame web apps for random companies or something. I am strongly considering continuing onto graduate school, because I want to be involved in academic research and related work

heh in related news, I don't understand how this is even possible. But a bird told me on my ear here just now, that a 7 year old kid somehow had managed to take his parents car and drove it towards the city, with the police following him for over 2km before they were able to stop him.

WTF, he must have been standing and driving. A 7 yo can't even look over wheel while sitting down and most certainly no reach the gas, clutch and breaks

This has to get to the news

can you tell me a bit about what you do, and what you plan to do after?

>>61780078
Get a Sec+, Linux+, LPIC1, CASP and then eventually a CISSP and enter the world of infosec

Perfect. Because computer science is bullshit.

>can you tell me a bit about what you do
I work on a government funded project in collaboration with a company that make PCIe-based interconnects. The main idea is to try to unify PCIe as an IO bus with how you can create a shared memory architecture, so I work on some different concepts with this, for example allowing multiple computers in a cluster share IO devices concurrently.

I did work full time during most of my master's though, so I already had some industry experience. Right after my master's, I began working at a company that made networking probes for IPTV providers, but the company was badly ran and after 6 months I decided to go back to do a PhD.

>and what you plan to do after?
If I don't get a job offer at the company I collaborate with (which I'm pretty sure I will), I will probably go the US and try my luck there.

Go to graduate school then either:
a) research
b) teach

I would highly recommend A.
Defense companies spend tons on R&D. I would start there.
