[QUOTE="mac57, post: 387422, member: 17052"] It seems obvious to me - I am not sure why no one has mentioned it to date - to work as a software engineer, you should get at minimum a Bachelors degree in software engineering! As mathogre correctly points out, a math degree is pretty good as well - a GREAT deal of overlap between the two. The work can be VERY satisfying. It all depends on what you like. I am passionate about technology and I LOVE working with it. As a software engineer, you can work on everything from embedded real time systems (my personal fave) to huge on line transaction processing systems. Like any job, a software engineering job has its share of annoyances, but it also has immense opportunities for fun, gratification and helping others. I would strongly recommend it. BTW, I didn't follow my own advice - Software Engineering was just getting started in the mid 70s when I got my degrees. I have a B.Sc and an M.A.Sc both in Electrical Engineering - I did a strong focus on software through both degrees though. [/QUOTE]
