I haven't taken any of my major classes or done too much programming on my own, so I'm not completely sure yet what kind of career I'll be looking for. Right now though, software engineering or being involved in game programming are the two that sounds the most appealing. I know Google recruits at my school, and working for them as pretty much anything would be one of my dream jobs, although I don't think I'd ever get into cyber security if that helps. Awesome, thanks. That's really good to hear, especially from an employer.

I am pretty awful at math and didn't even place into pre-calc. I didn't take Trig in high school as there was a way to opt out. I didn't think I would go into a math oriented field like Computer Science until recently. Anyway, I placed into the pre-req for pre-calc which is college algebra, which I'm guessing goes over Trig as well. I'm sure I can retake it, study, and place into pre-calc, but I can't retake until the semester has already started so I wouldn't be able to take any math class this semester. So I'd probably end up taking Pre-calc in the spring semester either way. I want to take College Algebra because I want a more solid math foundation, but not if it's going to be considered a blemish on my transcript to future employers/graduate schools. This sounds silly now that I've written it out, but I'm still nervous about it. Like comparing transcripts, wouldn't you take the guy who DIDN'T take College Algebra as it makes him seem more gifted/harder working in the early years?
