hello? are you alive
Hey I'm alive
hi cam
Hi how's it going> ?
good man just working right now you?
Studying for my last final
I have 2 left and a final project good for you
Yeah. I can't wait to finish it, but I just don't feel ready.
I bet you will do great whats your major?
Computer Science
lol Im IT what year are you in
Just a freshman, so I'm still not super set on doing computer science
Can i convert you to IT because you should convert
It's still possible yes.
unless you like to code all day and night in a dark room under the basement of the TMCB where there is no sunlight Why do you like SC? CS?
I'm not sure exactly. I love a challenge and programming is definitely a challenge. Mostly I love computers and am still trying to figure out where I fit in the computer world
programming is definitely a challenge I felt the exact same way like you did I think you should at least take IT101 because it basically introduces the Major and what kinds of things you will learn CS you just learn coding and how to make better algorithms and make apps In IT you will learn how to code, build apps, make websites, set up databases, UX design, Set up Networks, penetration testing in Cyber security and Cyber forensics IT101 is also 3 credits, but it will be the easiest 3 credits of your entire life
Okay. I definitely will try it
so it will be worth your time We also have LAN parties every semester play video games and get extra credit haha
Really? Extra credit for LAN parties?
yep because its a IT club event
Oh.
we also have coke, MTn dew, dr pepper and gatorade stocked in our fridge you just venmo and ge tyour caffiene fix if you are addict like i am its really good haha
Oh my. It just sounds like a party everyday as an IT major
haha yep its challenging though i've had a few all nighters they also encourage working in groups where as CS you have to do everything yourself
That's nice. I like having friends
You will make a lot of friends in IT When I was in CS I felt like I couldn't make friends without them thinking I want code from them or something
Ok. I'm also considering Computer/Electrical Engineering. You got any arguments against that path?
EE you have to take a lot of hard classes harder Physics classes a lot of mechanical stuff electrical gates hardware stuff Let me ask you this: what passions do you have about computers? because I thought I liked video games and making apps, but then I found out that I dont like coding that much
Yeah I'm still not sure about coding. I really just want to develop and make breakthroughs in the advancement of computers. I'm not sure if that should be with code or hardwar I want to solve problems and make the world a better place because of computers
gotcha well if you enjoy coding then I'd recommend that you continue CS You should at least take IT 101. It will help you learn what more you can do in the tech world beside just coding
Ok.
do you have any questions for me?
Not really. Thanks so much for helping me understand IT better
yeah man anytime
Well I got to go.
