I'm on a gap year at the moment, coz i got cold feet about the =
theoretical physics course i was gonna do. I thought I'd ask you advice =
on what course you'd recommend coz you're a bunch of technically minded =
people who have probably been through it. =20
Anyway basically I want to do something with a lot of problem solving =
eg. maths, physics, programming. I get bored easily and then won't work =
then but on the flip side if something interests me I'll stay up all =
night learning/playing with it. I lose interest if I'm supposed to use =
something without understanding it or practicing something a lot which =
I'm never going to use outside of a test. I also like graphics though I =
wouldn't go out my way to include this in a course.. =20
Finding a uni where i can tailor my course sounds good, that way i can =
cut out the mass amount of context in society and theory crap they teach =
on some courses and also keep up with all the areas that interests me. =
I don't really agree with the hard edge definitions between programming, =
maths and physics, they're kinda like the trinity (ponder that one if =
you will).
Any help/advice would be much appreciated and very useful.
