You're wasting your time bro, change your major to English or History, that's where the money's at //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I'm sure LSU is a great school overall, but I don't think there engineering program is even in the top 100 in the country.

I have no idea how their engineering program stands up. I picked them for their health sciences and the more I think about it, the more I want to stick with that.

Nice, I'm actually going to be going into electrical engineering next semester... I'm kinda excited about it.

Naw, i'm actually at Hamline right now ( so St. Paul). Anyway thats what I wanted to warn you about seeing as someone mentioned it not being in the top 100... Just pick your school wisely, hah.. not because it is in the top 100 of what you want to major in.

One of the main reasons I'm going to LSU is to get away from Wisconsin and it's cheaper for me to go there than up here. It's also a pretty good school. I have my formal visit this week, and I know a couple people that go to Hamline.

Good luck with your college selection.

For real? hah a lot of people in MN don't even know about it. Though I hate it, pretty bad place to go unless you are gay or super liberal and can put up with lots of bullsh*t.

Brock and Brant Luehman, Heather Byl, and Cody Olson graduated from Amery and go there right now. They should be sophomores. Brock and Brant play on the football team but Brant may have graduated, I don't remember.

Better major in History, I'm telling you. That's where all the big money is //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I'm going to school atm too for Electrical engineering. At SCSU, engineering program seems to be pretty good.

As for jobs there's a sh*t ton of places you can go.

I know for interns there are about 20 places that want interns from our school, such as Polaris and Cummins, IBM etc.

Don't do physical therapy..be a physician's assistant if you want a job out of school. PT's are in a tough spot right now. If you can handle doing EE, I'd do that..but engineering is ridiculous in general. If you are very smart and can handle quite a bit of stress with very large work loads, do EE.
