I'm in the same boat, anon. Prepare your anus to be get wrecked and also forget about any social life for the next 4 to 5 years. Also, you will be studying a fuckton of Calculus and Physics, that is unlike for all other majors, for engineering majors Physics is Calculus based as well. I highly suggest you to go over the basics of Math, the PreCalc stuff, because you will need a lot of it. Also, repeat the main ideas of the high school Physics class because a lot of what is to be covered will be based off of those basics, just deeper with more complex calculations. I am also about to enter my Freshman year but am already preparing my "rear entrance".

Honestly, unless you need reliable money or like being told what to do, don't.

Also, enjoy field work, hazardous work, working with carcinogenic substances, working in subbar conditions, working with old dangerous hardware and lots of other countless annoyances. Enjoy being treated like a disposable technician that has to perform work close to miracles and being charged next to nothing for all the pain and hard years, and enjoy being in permanent competition with China and India for the rest of your career unless you succeed in your specialisation gamble and manage to stay relevant for more than 5+ years.

What? Even for masters?

Nice bait. Are you a failed engineer or just a humanities major?

and this is why you don't become an engineer.

>he fell for the "bachelors is a terminal degree for engineers" meme
enjoy being a process / QA engineer

if you want to do research, get a masters or a phd

I hope you like circuits and shitloads of matrix busywork, transforms and integrals.

There is no reason to go for masters if you want to make money though.

My roommate is an electrical engineer. Graduated from UCLA and now works for Northrop Grumman. He says he likes his job but looking back he says he enjoyed computer science more but he doesn't have any regrets.
