1. Electrical design engineer (senior)
2. I like working in a small business where I get to work directly with a product, and all of it's facets. I program C and assembly, design hardware, board layouts, write manuals and more. Pretty much work by myself most of the time, so I do all the bug hunting too.
3. The pay. I take a big hit for #2. I would also rather be outdoors, but it does pay well enough to afford land with a view. Working on the pay thing... hopefully I wont have to leave for "greener" pastures.

Still, I am glad I left landscape design, electronics has always been a hobby, and I got to work for the company I bought hobby kits from when I was a kid. Pretty cool doing your hobby for a job! It has lost it's charm over the years, but it is probably burn-out talking.

okay check it out, im a multimedia major and computer science minor. I love progrmaming in c++ (thats all i've taken to sfar) but i dont know if im any good at it. Im not so sure it wasnt my fault more htan my profs teaching method, she wrote everything out, never touched a computer lab ONCE all semester.

As far as my major i LOVE it. Its primarily a heavy focus on we development, and i love to work with flash. My queston to you guys on here with some experience of where i am / headed, where do i go when i graduate? Who should i target for jobs? My biggest fear is not having one despite my 30k+/ a year college education. Im just enterting my second year at this college, but im afraid i wont have learned enough or done enough to be able to be good enough. I have a real knack and love for computers, it shows in my work too!

Flash mx is my baby

If you could list all kinds of computer related fields and salaries, you can name my second child.
