Hi, I’m an incoming freshman to GT majoring in computer engineering. I watch a lot of your videos and am truthfully grateful to stay informed. As an incoming student (still very lost) I wanted to know what threads you pursued to prepare you for a career as a software engineer. Also after watching some of your videos, I wanted to know what else I can do as a first year student, other than projects, to improve my resume for summer internships? What can I do to refine and gain new technical skills over the next year? Thank you now and in advance for all help.

Hi there! Congrats on your success especially at such a young age. Thank you for your sincere and honest opinions and for sharing your experiences. I’m curious to hear your thoughts. My son lives at home in Miami and goes to school at FL International University. He is in his junior year studying computer science and is looking to transfer to the U of Central FL for his senior year. I’m wondering if you think the college from which he graduates is an important factor in finding employment after graduation or are all CS degrees respected the same regardless of the school from which you graduate. I’m wondering if he should consider transferring to and graduating from a more reputable CS university or should he save the added cost of tuition and cost of living and stick with UCF.

Alright so my engineering college basically has a system where you must get a specific gpa in general engineering (first year) to enter a specific major, computer engineering was so high I failed to achieve it’s gpa, now my only option is to either redo the year and I’m sure I’ll be able to get the gpa needed, or stick with what my gpa got me which is mechatronics engineering and take side courses that would help me pursue a career software engineering. What do you think is the better option?

Question I have an BSc in biology, I did 1 year IT certification course( basic stuff app making, sql, Java, network etc.) I want to get a proper degree as I plan to work in Middle East after gaining enough experience, what would you suggest me to do, go through a bachelors in cs/software or get into masters program. Masters is shorter and little more in depth I think and undergrad would be longer… how does it matter in term of job hunting and my career future..

Hey Baxate, In the fall I will be attending Carnegie Mellon to pursue a double major in electrical engineering and either computer science or computer engineering. Which do you think is better in terms of the future job market and salary potential?
