Oh boy, are you ready for this?
I've completed two years of my bachelors degree in Computer Science. It's abet engineering qualified degree, so you could call it computer engineering if you like. I've got an applied mathematics minor done & I'm one quarter through a Journalism double major. I'm also the founder of a semi-startup (we haven't gotten enough funding yet) for a reusable heat pads.
What I want to do is all over the place.
With my CS degree, I am concentrating in game programming & artificial intelligence (a double concentration). I'm a freelance hacker ( cyber security is really popular at my university, so I can learn without taking the actual classes) and designer. I don't have a portfolio (because who has time to set that up? It's actually in progress, I promise)
I'm hoping to work in augmented reality research / virtual reality. But first I will probably have to get some experience in game programming real-world & some robotics.
In terms of journalism, I love writing for local newspapers, but I'm starting to think they're becoming extinct. I might start blogging for online papers, but it's a whole lot of time commitment & I don't have it at the moment. My dream is to work with the BBC. I've been dreaming about that since I could first understand words. It was the only channel dad let me watch when I was a kid!
Just to throw it out there. I'm not super talented. I'm just a hardworker. CS is super difficult for me, but it's fascinating and I like the idea of working with technology. Coding has an invigorating experience to it, so I stuck with the subject. Journalism was my original path, but it's not so much of a career in asian families so I had to choose something else for a major.
And finally, I do have one talent and that is language proficiencies. I can easily pick up on a language by hearing it for a few days. I guess I have really good auditory memory? Of course, I have to work hard to learn the grammars, but I can naturally imitate accents and remember all sorts of phrases off the top of my head. Living with a korean girl for four months and watching a few korean shows gave me tourist-level Korean. Even my roommate was shocked at now native my accent sounded.
I don't know what I'm going to do / want to do with the languages, but I'm sure it could get me some freelance work in between vacations!
@.@ Wow, this the first time I've compiled my plans coherently...
