If you sit through the majority of your classes thinking "this is pointless", then you're going to hate college and Computer Engineering might not be for you.I love it when the teachers teach us things on the computer, or math, and I am very good at it with A-A+I have been taking side programs to learn coding, and have been going through an old HP computer learning it's ins and outs. I am very interested in Computer Engineering, but a lot of it I don't need to know.

I saw you make a jab at math courses earlier which made me think you saw them as pointless. Your degree will be very math heavy, and you'll also have to take your required sciences, english, etc.I'm not going to lie, some of it will be useless and will seem like they are just trying to milk money out of you whereas there is at least some sort of merit to all the required courses in high school.
I'm good at it, but it gives me a bunch of trouble some times. And even in coding I don't think I will be using 3.14159((pie)) anytime soon.
