You said most ppl will fail dynamics ? Why is that so ? Can u tell me the reasons if you noe any . what are the common things that students tend to fail ? I'm sorry .. i can't afford to make any mistakes couz furhter studies IS expensive and i need help so that i dun make the mistake of choosing the wrong course.

Dear experts,

I am working adults and currently pursuing part time bachelors of technology in electronics in one of the open university here. At age >30, I have to choose wisely which elective subjects are most useful and demanding to determine my next path of my career soon after I graduated. I am still cannot my make decision to choose 2 electives subjects as my major:

discovering physics and chemistry
problem solving with object in Java
operating systems
field theory
quality and reliability
information theory
electronics materials and devices
microelectronics (VLSI Systems)

I am currently working in hi-tech semiconductor industry and hopefully after graduation soon I can get or change career to other technical field especially in oil & gas (Hopefully it is not too late for me consider my age at that time ). So I hope someone here can help me to choose wisely.
Thank you.

Need some advice please.

Here's my situation, just completed A-levels and now had a hard time choosing a degree course. Currently looking at Mechanical Eng, Mechatronic Eng. and Computer Science. Really liked hands-on and prefer it more compared to just studying theories and such. I am an ISTP.

Between Mechanical and Mechatronic I will choose Mechatronic for sure because I am more interested in it after comparing both engineerings course structure but then Mechatronic is not that needed in Malaysia. Parents and agents recommend Mechanical and EE more because both have more security. Reason I dislike EE was that I went to be a trainee at a EE company and found out I really have no interest in electronic circuits very much.

For Computer Science, I am interested in it and self-taught Python but Python is only the very basic and A-levels do not have any software taught. The thing that worries me is that what if I dislike programming in my further studies in Computer Science?

Another question is that does Engineering contains lots of theories? The ones in A-levels is enough for me to be called as nightmare, wouldn't like that when entering uni.

Do not want to take the wrong step that will affect the rest of my future and the big amount of money included.

Thanks in advance. Cheers.

Really appreciate your advice. Thank you.

Yeah, in the end I should blame myself. Was trying to avoid it which is a fact that theories is indeed everywhere. I'll try my best to overcome this. Tried another test and it shows me INTJ.... I am speechless towards the results. Anyway, thanks.

My bad, parents rushed me to enter A-levels since I can't make up my mind which course I am taking and the same thing happens after A-levels too. But then, thank you for suggesting pure sciences though. Thanks man. Cheers.

Wait, what? Pure science minimal theories? 

That was my post 2 years back haha.. I grad and worked, now going for masters
