Re: Cornerstone Series: A Day in the Life of...
*Computer Engineer :( *
Pros:
None.
Cons:
- IT sector prefers computer science graduates.
- Engineering jobs require Electrical Engineers.
- Network admins and database admins must have associated certification.
Likes:
- **Relaxation **There is no need to do any thing, I can just sit at home and relax. There are enough Computer science graduates and electrical engineers out there to fill every vacancy.
- Be Creative I have enough time to do creative things like designing your chair.
- Grow every day: Since enough free time is available, so I can spend it in studying and discussions to increase my knowledge.
- Spend time as I wish Financial benefits are hardly out there and this helps me in spending my life as I wish cause I am never going to have enough resources to marry.
- Stay healthy I involve myself in sports at time and am at my best in regards of health.
- **Live long life **Since I don't have as much things on mind as EEs or CSGs have so my mind is relaxing and I am more probable of having a long life.
Dislikes:
- **Keep away from bad friends **Some of my friends are electrical engineers or computer science graduates, so I don't meet them too often to be asked about my career.
- **Never let anybody know **If some one will ever know I am a computer engineer, then I have to be ready to solve his problems in "Paintshop pro" or "winamp" or fixing his loose power switch.
- **Never discuss algorithms with CSGs **Computer science graduates solve algorithms without caring any engineering aspects (efficiency, …) but they are best with what they know and they don't care the stupid things we were made to know. It is an era of PCs operating in GHz.
- **Never discuss design techniques with EEs **EEs are definitely more expert than I am, even if they don't know what will happen if you will increase register size, so I am in my limits and accept whatever I am told.
EE-->Electrical Engineer
CSG-->Computer science graduate
