I chose EE cause it was harder (for me at least) and everyone would drop out into CS. Wound up doing software development, which I loved as a hobby and wanted to avoid ruining, so to speak.
Fast forward to today, I've ended up coming to the conclusion that the whole university system (much like the tech, banking & finance industry) subsidizes foreign nationals to the detriment of anyone who's native & pays taxes to support these institutions of "learning".
I didn't really see a straightforward way to do anything interesting with EE, which seems to entail going for a phd and navigating all the financial costs along with that.

- lurking15 3y agoI have no problem with immigration but having worked for many (supposedly critically important) organizations it's clear to me that the immigration system we have now that they depend on to staff their departments (which there are certainly native americans who could be doing those jobs) is just a scam for corporate profits that corrodes society. Additionally I've found immigrants themselves are often possibly even more racist than the average American. Couldn't believe it when I found out the racial disputes that had to be managed between foreign workers.
