College students: what are you studying?

[Quintox]

Whew, been 9 months since I've last visited. I miss this place.

Anywho, for those of you who are in college, what are you studying? I'm curious to compare the results from here vs. another forum I post on more regularly.

And if you have graduated either recently or in the past, I guess I'll be nice and let you post what your degree was in as well. :)

[Desol8tor]

Psh, I'm not going to answer your question now that you admitted SPUF plays second fiddle in your array of internet forum usage.

Chemical or Industrial Engineering, because I know you all care so much.

University in Canada :

I'm Studying 3D design (animation,modeling, design, texture,etc...) I'll then concentrate in Character Modeling. Profile Video Games

I'm studying in the second (i think) best school of that domaine in Canada.

[Eriako]

Major in biochemistry and minor in microbiology. Eventually I want to go into pharmacology.

I'm taking a lot of peripheral classes though, so it'll probably be a while.

Your point is applicable to almost any university degree. Who says you can't study engineering with a few good books?

Job prospects are, of course, increased if you're doing an engineering or science degree but it is still no guarantee.

I'm doing an English degree and all I do is read a lot and write essays. Can you do this at home? Yes. Do you get the thrill of a Bachelor degree at the end? No. Also, university is more about learning about a variety of otherwise obscure topics such as post-colonial literature.

I do admit it is something I enjoy doing very much! I'm sure the average computer nerd also enjoys computer science. It could even be considered 'finger-painting' to him or her!

The music industry has a fairly large presence. I don't think that someone wanting a degree in music is silly at all.

Besides, furthering your knowledge is never a useless endeavor.

[Snorkel]

My sister-in-law put a lot of effort into music study all through High School, while her teachers were telling her "You'll never get a job with that, you need to apply yourself to something useful". She went to Jazz School after she finished school and now has a job teaching singing, and has regular gigs with a couple of bands that she sings in.

I can think of worse things to get degrees in!

[Garbagemanfight]

Dual bachelors in biochemistry and psychology and going back to school in August for a PhD in molecular biosciences

Have a Bachelor in History (with a minor in Russian Studies) and now doing a Master in Russian Studies, also studying the Russian language a tad next to the study.

Next year ill be doing a Master in History :)

Studied language, Danish, English, German, History and Psychology as my majors.

Then I went to officer school for a few years in the combat troops.

Now I am in training as a police officer, so it is a bit of a step back. Not that I am a police officer is a step back but being a trainee again, but whatever, salary is surprisingly good.

I wanted to do that too, but I slacked off too much in my younger years, but I did pull myself together and upped my grades, so I could study language and it lead me to the military, so I am glad.

But again, you are lucky. I wanted to do law too :)

Doing music production at the moment, but as I actually want to make a difference rather than ♥♥♥♥ around in a recording studio for a living, I'll do biology and a couple of other subjects to get me into med school.

That is the most stupid answer i've ever heard...yes, if you do those, you might have more chances of being "successful", but for many of us, these are freaking ♥♥♥♥ty domaine.

If you can give the effort of doing something you LIKE instead of something that is reputable, then go ahead. I prefer doing my life with a lesser salary but enjoying my job, compared to get get rich and have a boring, annoying job.

I'm currently studying as an artist (in 3D), luckily there's plenty of opportunities where i live to get a good job, but even if there wasnt, I would do that job or a similar job (concept artist, etc).

If this guy is good at music and wants to do music and gives all the effort to find his place then why not? Intead of going into the confort, safety zone of ordinary jobs.

If you want to do 3D for videogames i'd suggest you max or maya since both are the most commonly used in Videogames, If you know XSI people will be impress because you know a program few people knows.

It depends on where you end up. I was just there for QA but I was working alongside several designers and modelers. I had the incredible chance of being able to learn through them.

QA is not a career. It's a temporary job.

As for Ubisoft itself, it's seems to be an amazing place to work at.

I'd say MAX is better, well i like it for now, but i can't really say ;)

ZBrush is just a weird (but amazingly awesome) program. It's a sculpting package, but not purely a sculpting package. Even though it doesn't have a poly modeler, you can use it's ZSpheres in re-topologizing the poly cage or even in ZSphere modeling. It's main integration, at least in the pipelines I've used it in, has been for sculpting however.

For polygonal modeling, I have to choose Max or a C4D (my first exposure to 3D was via an AutoCAD class in highschool) hands-down. Normally, when I worked in Maya, I would find myself going back to Max for modeling. however, if I'm doing NURBS or surface/patch modeling, Maya seems to be the easiest to work with.

If you're doing film animation, or even character animation, I take Maya over any other software. Their muscle system destroys anything else I've seen (either plugin or stock). I'm also partial to Maya if I'm creating non-real-time surface shaders (Max for real-time since it has built-in DirectX support). The node-based system in the hypervisor just makes so much more sense to me. That and it was the first application to connect in Python to an already extensive MEL API.

That said, I always attempt to try any new software available. It never hurts to be familiar with more than one or two packages, especially if you want to bounce around from games to film to visualization to CAD.

[Bearkin]

I really hate having to transfer. The engineering department has something called a PAF (Program Admission Factor) which drops your mark (usually about 0.4) when you transfer to engineering so that you match up with the engineering students (which is bullcrap, I did the same math as them, HARDER physics, the same chem, and MUCH HARDER English, all they did more than me was the Engg classes) since Engg is supposedly 'harder' than anything else you might be transferring from.

However, they also decided to add a program wide gpa cut off you need to get into engineering in the first place, which I was told usually ranges between 3.0 and 3.2 (let's say it's 3.0). If you want to get into chemical engineering, you need a 2.1. For transfer students, you would need a 2.5 before the PAF. However, they still make it so you need to go up to a 3.0 which is just plain silly. If person A's GPA is 0.1 less than person B's, person A should be able to get into any program with an admission grade of at least 0.1 lower. However, if B ends up having a 3.0 and A has a 2.9, even though A has the grade for the all (minus biomedical and maybe mechanical) engineering departments, he might not get in. He could even be and probably is smarter than most of the engineering students (average is 2.5 and with a PAF of 0.3 or less [which is what it should be, 0.5 is too high to be applied to every single case], the 2.9 has a higher grade than the majority).

And she had absolutely no "teaching ability" in her. I stood up to her on more than one occasion, and I used a different system of calculations than she did (but my outcomes were always correct)... Needless to say, that didn't go over well, and she made sure I'd never graduate... As soon as I realised that, I left... And to this day I still hold a grudge against her for coming between me and my dream.... Obtuse old hag.

I tried to go over her head, but the dean said he couldn't do anything about it, since she has tenure... And he's been looking for a nice and legal way to get rid of her for years now...

I never hold grudges, but there's only two people in the world that make the exception and I seriously hate with a passion, and she's one of them...
