I am going on my third year in college and am at the point where I NEED to figure out what I would like to do with the other 40 years of my life. After much research (and procrastination) I have been thinking about computer engineering. The thing is I only know what I have read about the field, which turns out to be emotionless textbook explinations.

This point is-

Would anyone be able to break down (as much as you would be willing to) what it is ACTUALLY like to be a computer engineer. Not so much the whole "Analyze requirements to develop overall hardware and software systems. Plan layouts and installation" definition I can find on any site. I am talking about the humane side of it. Such as-

What is it like starting out?
How long does it take to fully feel like that industry is you, and not like you are trying to make it that way?
Any regrets?
Is it more stressful or fun?

Anyone with any knowledge in the field that they are willing to offer would help me a lot!

I have a Dell Dimension E521 with a 305 watt power source I think. The card needs 350 watts at the minimum. Is there a power supply that is minimum of 350 watts and is compatible with the E521?

God tells us to question. Would you be excommunicated if you asked questions?

ok, so i read that the lowest score you can get on the GED test
is a 200 and the highest is a 800 and the passing score is a "combined" score of 450 which is about a 60%...

now.. does this mean if i score low in the math and do good in everything else... will i still pass?

I get science of how and why it works and anatomy of it mostly. Its soooo fun, geting to blow things, up in class. Fire admissions, raw research observations.


Math is like raw stright up boring. I GET super interested in it if I was in Algebra Again but im not. It doesnt make any sense whats so ever. I try asking the teach but she explains it but shes doesnt make it simple enough to explain the formula or the equation.

SO, what can I do to make math a lot more interesting,fun, loving, and being more academic in it too?

God made the rules that His own creations (man) broke. He then sent Himself (since He and Jesus are one) on a suicide mission as a sacrifice to who? Is there a higher God than God that He had to appease?
I'm tired of the regular John 3:16 garbage that brainwashed fanatics, with tunnel vision, keep pushing. I need something that makes sense.

I know it's not the same as blowing off a summons to appear in county court and then having a bench warrant issued against me, but what if in the day of judgement I challenged God's jurisdiction by claiming that I was given no choice as to whether or not I wanted life in the world to begin with. And please- no arguments that I've already tasted life and indulged in its excesses--- that's like punching me in the mouth and then accusing me of having a bloody lip.

It scares the crap out of me.

Could this be the future? It soo reminds me of how Hitler brainwashed his country. They all use the same exact socail tactics. Its unbelievable.

Truley its scary because these people are centralized, unlike non-religious people, and pose a huge threat to the nation. Its hard to get athiests to centralize to stop things like this happening because our beliefes dont require a higher-up telling us what to do. These people truly are going to **** things up politically. This is a radical movement i can see easily drifting into a more P.C. version of Hitlers movements. (if you understand what i mean, then you understand how deep and true that is)

and passionate about all religions and science but having a hard time finding questions to ask because i get so interested in everyone elses. I try to remain unbiased and honest in my answers but i wonder why it is assumed that god wants us all to jump on a bandwagon and prove everyone else wrong?
