Another thing to consider is that uni can be a LOT of fun. I made a lot of friends at uni who I am still close with 22 years later. I met my wife while at uni (I didn't actually meet her at uni, but if I wasn't going to uni at the time, we probably would not have met). I did Computer Systems...

You don't even need to work for Lego to get access to the cool stuff -the Mechanical Engineering dept at Adelaide Uni had the most amazing Lego collection. It's considered a fantastic learning tool. If I had my time over again, I might have chosen mechatronics as a career path - I find that...

Seriously, yes. I work with APIs, frameworks, cloud services, etc ... I can't possibly know the intimate details of how all of them work, especially since they change frequently or new systems are developed. Then there are problems which arise and require troubleshooting. I live and...

This is an important point - many (but not all) university IT related courses focus on the theoretical aspects of IT. In Computer Science / Computer Systems Engineering we learned about how to write our own file systems and how to program our own network communication protocols. Very low-level...

As facetious as I think dtraeger is being, I must admit that I found the quantum mechanics and relativity aspects of physics to be really mind-bending stuff :eek: I never really grasped the theory behind most of this stuff - fortunately it was only a small part of the course, so even if I got...

Pure physics? Or is he interested in applied stuff too? Lots of other disciplines rely heavily on Physics. I did Computer Systems Engineering at uni and we did up to 2nd year uni physics (including studying relativity with Professor Paul Davies!). Think of all the stuff you learn about in...
