<p>@collegedropout1 who is your C++ professor? You mean from your CC?</p>
<p>@ivelosthope I mean C++, a programming language. His name is Ralph Taylor. Look him up at ratemyprofessor. I never seen ratings as bad as his.</p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1, wow you’re right. He has really bad reviews 
Best of luck! </p>
<p>Ok guys, you are going to have to make this decision for me. If you think I should go to UCLA, they say tell me, if you guys think think I should go to UCSD, then tell me too! I know this sounds stupid, but it is the only way I am going to be able to make this decision. </p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1 </p>
<p>I’ll let my avatar represent my opinion. :)</p>
<p>UCLA</p>
<p>Go to UCSD! 
</p>
<p>@collegedropout1 - what are your main reasons for wanting to go to each school. I know you’ve mentioned it before, but I can’t remember.</p>
<p>@2016candles </p>
<p>I like UCLA because of its locations. It is near my family, so I know I will not get homesick. I also like it because my childhood best friend is studying there and my crush works 5 minutes away from UCLA. I like my major (Geology) better at UCLA, but I am worried about finding a good paying job after graduation </p>
<p>I like UCSD, well, I like it because I can major in computer science, which will provide me with a good chance of getting a high paying job, but that is about it. UCSD is socially dead, and I’m afraid I might get homesick.I’m really shy. I’m also afraid I won’t like computer science when I take upper division classes. Then I would have to change my major, which is the only reason I am considering UCSD. </p>
<p>If you’re not even sure you’re gonna like CS but are thinking of taking it solely for a job, that’s not really a compelling reason. UCLA.</p>
<p>Also, Geology branches into environmental science, which is one of the strongest fields to get in to these days.</p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1 </p>
<p>Well, it seems you have more reasons not to go to UCSD than reasons not to go to UCLA.</p>
<p>You know what this means. :)</p>
<p>@lindy8 haha, but the pay isn’t as good as CS. I’m thinking of working in the Oil and Gas Industry since that pays really well, but that would mean I would have to move to Texas and go to graduate school.</p>
<p>You can’t let potential salary be your only driving force. I’m not saying live with no money, but money really isn’t everything. You have to follow your passions and your interests. </p>
<p>I love the saying, “do what you love, and you’ll never work a day on your life”. I probably butchered it, but you get the idea. </p>
<p>UCLA for you hands down! No contest. You have several great reasons to go there, and only 1 slightly decent reason for San Diego. </p>
<p>CS at UCSD is in a **** situation right now. Horrifically overenrolled. You’ll be there for 3 years at minimum, probably more. You could always do Math of Computation at UCLA and switch into CS. I think Math of Computation is a more versatile major anyways, for grad school as well. Plus for CS your degree doesn’t matter, your skill does. If you’re good, you don’t need the degree. </p>
<p>@CSB111 I’m scared of upper division math. </p>
<p>My long term goal is to become a software developer, but I’m afraid no one will hire me without a CS degree.</p>
<p>@CollegeDropout1 I wouldn’t worry about that. It may be a little bit easier to break in, but you get hired by your performance in technical interviews. </p>
<p>As far as math, besides one Real Analysis class, it isn’t too bad. You’ll end up taking math classes that are programming based, like Numerical Analysis. Plus there are Algorithms, Software Design, Computer Graphics etc that are listed as Math courses, but CS heavy. Just something to consider. I’ve been told if you have the requirements done for CS as a Math of Comp major you can keep taking CS classes and switch over. </p>
<p>@collegedropout1, if it’s just coding you want, check out some of the “dev bootcamps”. You can always do an intensive 6 week course after you graduate.</p>
<p>There are a bunch of companies offering bootcamps. Some are only one month. This article is just about one of them:</p>

<p>Great, Thanks @Cayton @lindyk8 @2016Candles @CSB111 for condemning me to a summer with the worst C++ professor ever!</p>
<p>Completely unrelated, I know, but…</p>
<p>I have jury duty next month. Why me?!? :’(</p>
<p>@Cayton It Karma’s why at getting back at you</p>
