I think I may want to be a network engineer.

I'm currently doing software engineering/development work, but I've yet to complete my degrees, which will be a Bachelors and Masters in Computer Engineering. I think I'd like to stay in the same field, but we'll see what the future holds.

C, C++, C#, Obj-C, Win32 ASM, ARM ASM, Java/script, PERL, PHP, some Python, and VB/.NET. I can get by in a few other languages (Ruby, learning D on and off), but I generally stick to C/++ for anything related to gaming, ASM for any hardware, and Obj-C for iPhone development.

Yes, but do you know ADA?

Right now I'm a Junior so I'm already looking at potential colleges and I found two of high interest and a few more...

I'll probably be attending Penn State (Erie or Main Campus) or RIT. I have to get accepted first, but my GPA of 3.6 should be enough to get me in. Penn State Erie has like a 80% Acceptance rate and my GPA is above their max average of 3.4 or something, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue to get in.

The only thing worrying me is financial issues, Penn State is $20,000 a year for everything and $13,000 for just the courses. At that rate, I already have enough saved for 1-1.5 years, but I'm going to take on some debt (Obviously).

Already took the PSAT and I'm waiting for my results, I'm guessing I will take the SAT in the Spring, or maybe I am supposed to wait until next year? I dunno, didn't look into it too much yet.

If I might, I suggest going to the Behrend (Erie) campus. Harrisburg is very full, and more of a party campus. The bad side of going to the Erie campus- if you want to take a clean room course (wherein you learn the procedures, et. al.), you'll have to go Harrisburg. At least, that was how it was last time I was in school.

Besides which, PSU is starting to specialize their campuses a bit more- Erie is more for technical stuff, Shenango (same city I live in, actually) is more Human Development/psychology/nursing. You'd be a bit more focused in Erie than at the main campus- though you'd receive just as good a general education at either.

Not specifically, but I do know Pascal/Delphi.

Really don't know. If it was up to me I would be a Student forever.

Well at the moment I am planning on at least getting my Masters in Electrical Engineering. I am leaning on going for my Ph.D in EE but we shall see after I get my Masters.

After that? I guess get a career at some Engineering firm till I build up some decent connections and bank. I would like to start my own company. Don't know what yet. I have been thinking of starting a all electric car company like Tesla but focus on the economy side. Nice, Cheap, Reliable electric cars for all. Oh and All American made.

Something on the spectrum between Electrical Engineer and Software Engineer. Headed to college next fall.

My plan in life is simple. I want to run my own store to sell new and used video games and whatnot. I only want a few store locations, to keep the business as pure as possible. I don't want it to become corrupted and turn into GameStop. It's going to be a business for the people, and the people deserve better.
