I'm going to go back to school this fall, and I'm trying to decide something. I'd like to do something working with computers and networking, but I don't neccessarily want to be a computer programmer.

Which would be better for me to major in?

I actually wish that universities would dump the bullshit general education requirements they make engineering majors take like anthroploogy and such and make us take more economics classes. Engineering econ, even though it was grossly simplified and easy, I think should have been the beginning of a series of econ classes. I mean seriously, we go through all this basic engineering shit but *EVERYTHING* we will EVER do as an engineer is completley goverened by economics, which even after getting an A in that class I still feel like I know very little about....


I dunno I mean I guess that's why they have the thing called "industrial engineering", but I still think that's an aspect that's reall overlooked in 4-year undergrad engineering degrees.
