yup! a degree is better than no degree.

I was in the same boat you are, stuck in college realizing you dont want to be a nerd for the rest of you're life. I thought about automotive but after seing the shitty wages and seriously who wants to work on cars for a living? Maybe if you find a niche but def. not at a dealership. I went into aircraft maintenance and couldnt be happier, the work is fun, the pay is good, and I get to work on the most exclusive business jets in the world.

Yeah I haven't ever heard of "calc 5" most schools go to calc 3 and after that have classes like differential equations and other really hard ----.

pull your head out of your *** and stay in school.


you have an opportunity some of us wont get, so take advantage of it, dumbass.

stay the ---- in college or ill ------- kill ya

At Rutgers everyone refered to Diff EQ/Linear Algebra at Calc 4 and Calc 5 is "Advanced Calculus". I only took up to Diff Eq/Linear Algebra since I was a Civil Engineering major, but Mechanical and Electrical definitely had to take Calc 5 aka Advanced Calculus.

How much of that do you need to know? Next to nothing. Computers basically do it all once you get in the work force. I don't know of a certified engineering school which doesn't make you take at least differential equations to get a BS in engineering. So basically I'm suggesting, if you only have to take Calc 2, you probably have a worthless degree. ----, to get an A.S. in engineering you generally have to take Diff EQ so there is no way you can get away with taking just Calc 2 and have a "real" engineering degree.

Rutgers has some nappy headed hoes.

i am trying to get most of the math i have to do out of the way before i transfer, my school just started the intro to engineering class (required to get into school of eng) and its gay as hell, all we do is watch lectures from the university of wisconsin. calc3 is gay and slow as ----, who the ---- needs to go 5 days a week?, my teacher takes attendence(15% of grade)

Jeez, I know University of Houston isn't MIT or some ----, but it sure as hell ain't no ITT Tech *****.

I explained what the major is about. I'm not much into math and I'd never finish college if that's all it was going to be.

How many credits are each of those classes worth? Up in NY in the SUNY system The highest calculus course I've heard of was calc 3. Diff EQ was typically taken after calc 2.

I think all the material is the same but they probably split things up differently where you go.


That's the idea. I just want to do something I enjoy and love. Dropping out was never really the plan. I said so in my first post.
