In what degrees would it be useful to become these jobs?

Question

Electrical Engineering

Computer Software Engineering

Civil Engineering

Im just a kid trying to plan ahead for my future.

I've skipped a grade in Math and have a 98%

What's a good/high paying job that mostly requires math.
Math as the main subject.

Answer 1

If you want to make the big bucks with a math focus, look into becoming an actuary. They have a series of exams that you need to take, but you'll be rewarded generously.

Actuaries calcualte the financial aspects of uncertainty and risk.

The job is listed as one of the top careers in surveys.

Answer 2

There are degrees directly in each of these fields. Your local college should be able to tell you the requirements for these courses.

For EE and CivE, you need serious math courses through calculus and differential equations. Matrix math would not hurt, either. CompSE is less stringent on the really ugly math but you need to study logic.

EE courses also need lots of physics - the base course plus some electives in the subject of electricity and electronics.

CivE courses require things like stress analysis in solids, strength of materials (that's a course), vector resolution math, geometry, and probably some basic accounting and business math - because of the complex contracts usually seen in the process of building something of any size.

CompSE requires courses on O/S concepts, at least two or three programming languages, basic networking theory, and a smattering of electives depending on what part of computer sciences actually interests you.

Answer 3

Not sure about the Electrical Engineering or the Civil Engineering, but the Computer Software engineering can take many routes. If you are designing application software (like general ledger and payroll systems) then a business major with a minor in computer science (or a double major) would be one route. You could also just major in computer science but the business side is very important.
If you want to design games or systems software, then a mathematics major with a minor in computer science would be preferable.

Answer 4

Those are, pretty much, the names of the degrees.

Computer Science maps to Computer Software Engineering, the only one that isn't the typical name of the degree.

Answer 5

If you're serious about engineering, you should read my blog AeroGo:

You'd probably do fine in engineering if you're good at math and physics. EE probably is the most math-intense. Also, there are some pretty good-paying jobs for brainy math folks on Wall Street these days, who are called "quants".

Good luck.

Answer 6

Electrical Engineering is a major at many universities

Civil Engineer as well.

Don't know about the middle one.

Answer 7

a level in criminal justice or forensic technology is appropriate to a occupation as a police officer, based on the profile you're aiming for. My cousin works in regulation enforcement and as a count of reality, your overall performance throughout on-container (academy) training alongside with written assessments & physicals count variety extra in the direction of very final determination. Down the line, you could additionally ought to sparkling the police oral board examination.

Answer 8

Either job pays well, sounds like you have a very good head on your shoulders and are headed inthe right direction..good luck.

Answer 9

You named the degrees...

Those are it...

(My best buddy from way back when graduated with an "Electrical Engineering" degree...)

Answer 10

when you finish your high school you should pay attention your favorite.
but know it that mechanical engineering and electrical engineering are suitable for developing your job
