i need help with a tech career!

[zakkkaliscious]

im about to be a senior in HS and still dont know what i want to do....
can you guys throw some ideas around ? im into cars obviously, CAD, Social studys stuff,and i suck at math.help me out..

[Mr_Mischif]

Well, if you like cars and CAD, why not go into design?

need a BS for that

[zakkkaliscious]

thats what i was thinking but im not sure where to go.

These days, if you don't know Calculus and Trigonometry, you won't get far if you plan on pursuing a technical career. Georgia Tech and Auburn are two of the best schools I can think of for anything technical or engineering. You can also go to Southern Polytech or Kennesaw and transfer over as well. Most science majors require at least Calculus II. I'm doing Calculus IV for Aerospace Engineering at GT, and I still have one more class left, but then again, it's not for everyone lol.

+1... atleast calc 1 is required for most business and most finance majors as well.

how was calc 3 over at tech? compare to calc 2 >.>

heard horror stories about it

actually, i thought calc 3 was alot easier to understand than calc 2. calc 2 is all integrals, and calc 3 is basically partial derivatives and surface integrals. the integrals are a whole lot easier since you don't have to remember all those trig identities for integrals. although i have heard of at least one person dropping out of GT altogether just because of failing calc 3. it gets even worse with differential equations.

and differential equations is the last math u need to take for ME right?

southern poly is an awesome tech school BTW

[zakkkaliscious]

damn, what about civil or mechanical engineering?

If you aren't good at math, get the word "engineering" out of your head.

lol
im good at it. i just dont like it
